About Celoxis MCP Server
Connect your Celoxis enterprise platform to any AI agent and take full control of your Project Portfolio Management (PPM) workflow through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Celoxis into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Celoxis and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Project & Portfolio Mapping — List strategic portfolios and extract granular project structures including absolute timelines, completion statuses, and mapped budget blocks.
- WBS & Tasks — Retrieve explicit Work Breakdown Structure nodes, identifying active assignments, task health, and explicit phase deliverables.
- Resource Allocation — Evaluate working resources, parse user mappings, and expose global scheduling types and distinct system roles across your organization.
- Timesheets & Accounting — Accurately pull time entries logged by members to measure billable matrices and ledger associations tied directly to tasks natively.
- Issue & Risk Governance — Poll blocking issues preventing workflows and assess graded severity impacts modeled inside the Celoxis organizational risk matrix.
- Approvals Pipeline — Interrogate pending validations routing over timesheets, assessing gating rules and internal clearance statuses immediately.
The Celoxis MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
