OpenProject by @altf1be

Manage OpenProject work packages, projects, groups, news, users, watchers, relations, notifications, time entries, comments, attachments, wiki pages, and workflow transitions via the API v3. Works with both cloud and self-hosted instances.

Setup

1. Log in to your OpenProject instance
2. Go to My Account → Access Tokens → + Add

4. Set environment variables (or create .env in {baseDir}):

OP_HOST=https://projects.xflowdata.com
OP_API_TOKEN=your-api-token
OP_DEFAULT_PROJECT=my-project

1. Install dependencies: cd {baseDir} && npm install

Security

• API token auth (Basic auth with apikey as username)
• No secrets or tokens printed to stdout
• All delete operations require explicit --confirm flag
• Path traversal prevention for file uploads
• Built-in rate limiting with exponential backoff retry
• Lazy config validation (only checked when a command runs)

Dependencies

• commander — CLI framework
• dotenv — environment variable loading
• Node.js built-in fetch (requires Node >= 18)
