OpenProject by @altf1be

Manage OpenProject work packages, projects, time entries, comments, attachments, 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
3. Create an API token and copy it
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

5. 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)
