About Runn MCP Server
Integrate your conversational AI natively with Runn, the premier real-time resource planning and forecasting platform. This integration enables your assistant to pull essential project metadata, capacity bottlenecks, people configurations, team allocations, and timesheet metrics directly into your sessions.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Runn tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 12 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Analyze Projects & Resources — Extract ongoing engagement details, milestones, and client associations by querying lists natively (
list_projects,list_clients). Request detailed readouts of individual operational scopes (get_project). - Audit Roles & Assignments — Find exactly who is assigned to what phase, mapping active allocations accurately (
list_assignments,list_phases). Consult team members' details (list_people,get_person) or review globally defined roles (list_roles). - Review Budgets & Actuals — Safely extract reported operational logs (
list_actuals) to compare planned work versus billed hours. Account for non-working days naturally via the holidays lists (list_holidays).
The Runn MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
