Not because it’s March. Because it’s the right thing to do.

At OpenProject, supporting women in tech and open source is not something we switch on once a year. It’s part of how we try to work every day: with flexible work, shared responsibility for care work, psychological safety, and space for diverse voices to be heard.

To the women on our team and in our community: thank you for shaping OpenProject. Your work makes us better. 💜

One of the most important questions about AI in project work is:
How do you use it without losing control of your data?

OpenProject 17.2 introduced the MCP Server, available on the Professional plan and higher. It gives you full control to enable the feature and choose which tools and resources LLMs and other MCP clients can access within OpenProject.

✅ Real project context

Smarter workflows — without compromising control.
