feat: add a Grok Build plugin by sriramveeraghanta · Pull Request #217 · makeplane/plane-mcp-server

sriramveeraghanta · 2026-09-10T13:14:45Z

Adds grok/ — a plugin definition that lets Grok Build install the hosted Plane MCP server. Three files, no code changes to the server.

This is the first of two PRs. Once this merges, a second PR to xai-org/plugin-marketplace adds one catalog entry pinning this repo at the merge commit with path: "grok".

What's here

File	Purpose
`grok/.mcp.json`	The endpoint — `https://mcp.plane.so/http/mcp` over HTTP, nothing else
`grok/.grok-plugin/plugin.json`	Manifest the marketplace index generator reads
`grok/README.md`	What the plugin provides, setup, declared network endpoints

Why the hosted endpoint

.mcp.json ships a URL and no credentials, so installing the plugin asks the user for no API key and reads nothing from their disk — Grok runs Plane's OAuth flow on first connect. That matches how neon, omneky and tavily are configured in the marketplace, and it's the cleanest story for xAI's security review, which statically audits MCP configs for secret handling and over-broad scope.

Verified the endpoint behaves as a well-formed OAuth-protected MCP resource:

POST /http/mcp returns 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Bearer ... resource_metadata=...
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/http/mcp advertises read/write scopes
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server advertises a registration_endpoint with PKCE S256, so a client that was never pre-registered can self-register on first connect

Self-hosted Plane isn't served by the hosted endpoint; grok/README.md points those users at the existing stdio instructions in the root README.

Verification

Ran the marketplace's own extractor (scripts/plugin_catalog.py from xai-org/plugin-marketplace) against grok/ to confirm the layout resolves before we pin it:

{
  "components": {
    "mcpServers": [ { "name": "plane", "description": "http" } ]
  },
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

Manifest, version and the MCP server are all picked up. No existing tests are affected — this PR adds no Python.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a Grok Build plugin that connects to Plane for managing projects, work items, cycles, modules, releases, and customers.
- Added hosted MCP server configuration with OAuth-based authorization and no API key required.
- Added support for searching and retrieving work item data using Plane Query Language (PQL).
- Added setup documentation, including hosted and self-hosted usage options.

Adds `grok/`, a plugin definition for the xAI plugin marketplace (xai-org/plugin-marketplace), pointing Grok Build at the hosted MCP server over HTTP with OAuth. Three files, no code. `.mcp.json` carries the mcp.plane.so endpoint and nothing else, so a user configures no API key and the plugin reads no credentials from disk. `.grok-plugin/plugin.json` is the manifest the marketplace index generator reads. The README declares the network endpoints and credential handling the marketplace security review asks contributors to state up front. The catalog entry in xai-org/plugin-marketplace pins this repo at a commit with `path: "grok"`, so shipping a plugin update is a SHA bump there rather than a new submission.

🪧 More tips

Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists.
Untick Architecture lens or Data flow lens under View to hide a diagram, or tick Expand every detail to open every section. The comment redraws in a few seconds.
Click the link under each diagram to open it on a canvas you can zoom, pan and step through.
Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time.
The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time.
Set github.comment.collapsed: true in .github/pr-lens.yml to fold the comment behind one View architecture and data flow row. Drawing still runs on every push.
Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and your model provider's key as its api-key to run PR Lens from your own CI. Any /chat/completions endpoint works.
Push a commit and the comment redraws for the new head. A slow older run never overwrites a newer one.
Switch GitHub to dark mode and the diagrams follow. The moving dots are this pull request's data in motion.
