Rocketlane MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your AI assistant securely access Rocketlane so you can search projects, create and update tasks, and stay on top of delivery work without switching tools.

Rocketlane MCP connects to your AI tool through an MCP server URL and uses OAuth for authentication.

When to Use

Use Rocketlane MCP when you want to:

• Create, update, and search tasks across projects
• Summarize project status and flag overdue or blocked work
• Turn customer inputs (handoff notes, discovery context, SOWs) into a structured project plan
• Log or update time entries from your AI assistant (where supported in your setup)
• Search users, projects, and fields so actions can be performed with the correct values

Prerequisites

Before connecting:

• Ensure you have a Rocketlane user account and access to the projects you want to work with
• Ensure your Rocketlane permissions allow the actions you want to perform (for example create tasks, update tasks, create time entries)
• Ensure your AI tool supports MCP and OAuth (or supports adding MCP servers)

Claude Code

Prerequisites for Claude Code

Before registering the MCP server, ensure you have the Claude CLI installed.

Check if Claude CLI is installed:

claude --version

If you see "command not found: claude", follow the installation steps below.

Install Claude CLI

On macOS (using Homebrew):

brew install node

On Windows:

• Download from nodejs.org
• Run the installer

On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Step 2: Install Claude CLI globally

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-cli

Step 3: Verify installation

claude --version

You should see the Claude CLI version number.

Register the MCP server

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http rocketlane https://rocket-mcp.rl-platforms.rocketlane.com/mcp

Authorize in Claude Code

1. Start a Claude Code session.
2. Enter /mcp.
3. Select Rocketlane from the MCP list.
