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.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Runn into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Runn 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
- 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 Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
