Primavera P6 MCP servers and AI agent skills

How AI connects to Primavera P6

An MCP server or skill can only do what Primavera P6 lets programs do. Primavera P6 exposes 3 automation interfaces:

• P6 EPPM REST API (REST API): P6 EPPM (Enterprise Project Portfolio Management) exposes an HTTP-based REST interface that Java, JavaScript or any other HTTP client can call to read and change EPPM data. It is the route for live, server-side integration; the P6-MCP server uses an EPPM connection for jobs that XER files can't do, such as scheduling, levelling, applying actuals and creating baselines. Each EPPM release has its own REST reference on docs.oracle.com, so match the documentation to your server version. Documentation
• XER and PMXML exports (Input files): XER is P6's own export format and PMXML is its XML export. Most AI integrations work on these exports rather than on P6 itself, which keeps them cross-platform and means no P6 licence is needed to analyse a schedule. MPXJ reads and writes both formats and is what lean-planning-mcp uses; the P6XER server relies on the PyP6XER parser. Dates and float in an export come from the last time someone scheduled the project (F9), so reschedule before exporting. Documentation
• P6 Professional standalone database (Other): P6 Professional in standalone mode keeps its data in a local SQLite database. MCP for Primavera P6 reads that database directly and, if you allow it, writes edits into it. Those writes skip P6's own business logic, so the server refuses to write while PM.exe is running, takes a backup first, never writes planned dates or float, and expects you to reopen P6 and press F9. P6 Professional connected to SQL Server or Oracle databases is not covered.

What Oracle offers

Oracle's AI feature page for Primavera Cloud lists one feature, a Help Assistant that answers questions about using Primavera Cloud; an administrator must switch it on and it is offered in selected data centre regions. That page doesn't mention P6 Professional or P6 EPPM, and no Oracle MCP server for any Primavera product turned up in this check. Every P6 listing here is a community project.

What you can do with Primavera P6 and AI

• Trace the driving path behind a late milestone and find which successor chain sets an activity's total float, using P6's last F9 dates.
• Run a DCMA 14-point check on a monthly update, using the thresholds stored in the P6 project where they exist, and compare the result with last month's.
• Diff two XER updates, or an update against its baseline, activity by activity and link by link to see slip causes and float erosion.
• Test a delay with a CPM what-if or a Monte Carlo risk run held in memory, so the live schedule isn't touched.
• Apply controlled edits to durations, logic, actuals or UDFs in a P6 Professional database, each as a dry run with a backup, or run scheduling and levelling jobs on P6 EPPM.
• Layer Last Planner commitments and Advanced Work Packaging readiness checks over an exported P6 schedule.

Installing

The listings here document setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ClawdBot, Cline, Codex, Continue, Cursor, Google Antigravity, LM Studio, OpenAI Agents SDK, OpenCode, VS Code, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, Zed and claude.ai. Install steps, copied from each project's own documentation, are on each listing's page. Most Primavera P6 integrations run on your own computer next to Primavera P6, so you need Primavera P6 installed and licensed on the same machine unless the listing says otherwise.
