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, such as handoff notes, discovery context, or 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 Rocketlane MCP, ensure that:

• You have a Rocketlane user account.
• You have access to the projects you want to work with.
• Your Rocketlane permissions allow the actions you want to perform, such as creating tasks, updating tasks, or creating time entries.
• Your AI tool supports MCP and OAuth, or supports adding MCP servers.
