Redmine + Meta Muse
Redmine project management: issues with their journals, projects, versions, time entries, users and the enumerations behind statuses, priorities and trackers. REST API, API-key auth against your own instance.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
REDMINE_URL, REDMINE_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
Turn the REST API on first. It is off by default.
- As an administrator go to Administration → Settings → API and tick Enable REST web service.
- Open My account for the user the agent should act as; the API access key is in the right-hand sidebar. Show it and copy it.
- Set
REDMINE_URLto your instance root (no trailing slash) andREDMINE_API_KEYto the key.
The header is X-Redmine-API-Key. Redmine also accepts the key as a key= query parameter, but a header keeps it out of the web server's access log.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Muse
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Muse adds remote MCP servers as custom connectors and signs in to them with OAuth.
- In Muse, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID. - Muse opens the AnythingMCP sign-in page: sign in and approve access.
- In a chat, ask Muse for something that needs the
Redminetools.
You can also set it up from a chat, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps or in WhatsApp. Send Muse this message:
Create a Custom Connector for a new remote MCP server, then connect to it:
Name: AnythingMCP
Transport: remote streamable HTTP
URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID
Auth: OAuth
Self-hosting? Use your instance's public HTTPS address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com. Muse connects from Meta's cloud, so localhost does not work.
Available tools

redmine_list_issues | List issues with Redmine's filter operators |
redmine_get_issue | Read one issue in full with its journals — the comment and field-change history, which the list endpoint omits because it can be long |
redmine_list_project_versions | List the versions (milestones and sprints) of one project with their name, due date, status and sharing |
redmine_list_time_entries | List logged time entries with their user, issue, project, date, hours and activity — the raw data behind any effort report |
redmine_list_users | List users with their login, name, e-mail and status, to resolve who an issue is assigned to |
redmine_list_issue_statuses | List the issue statuses this instance defines, with their id and whether each closes the issue |
redmine_list_trackers | List the trackers (Bug, Feature, Support and any custom ones) with their id and default status, so a tracker_id filter can be composed |
redmine_add_issue_note | Add a note to an issue |
FAQ
Where is Muse available? Meta currently offers Muse in the US and Canada, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps and in WhatsApp.
Does Meta review this connector? No. Meta doesn't review custom connectors. Muse sees only the tools you switched on for this MCP server in AnythingMCP, and you can disconnect it anytime under Settings → Connectors.
