Status for the sponsor
Before the steering meeting the project manager asks where the Acme migration stands. Memtro lists its open work packages by status, names the three past their due date and their assignees, and quotes the last comment on each.
OpenProject + Memtro
Ask which OpenProject work packages are open, overdue or changed this week.
Connect OpenProject with your host name and an API token and Memtro reads projects, work packages with type, status, assignee and dates, their comments and history, and time entries. The token carries all of its user's permissions. The hourly sync writes work packages that changed into memory. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name, it can create, change, relate and comment on work packages, log and correct time, add watchers, manage versions, projects and meetings, and lock or reinstate users. Most writes email nobody. Deleting a work package, time entry or whole project is permanent.
In Memtro
What you can do with OpenProject in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right OpenProject tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Projects the user can see, with identifier, name and whether active
- 02Work packages by project, words or status, with type, priority, assignee and dates
- 03One work package with its comments and the field changes recorded against it, and time entries with hours, person and activity
- 04The hourly sync writes work packages that changed into memory
- 05When asked and granted, creates, changes, relates and comments on work packages, logs or corrects time, and adds watchers, who are then notified of changes, with writes otherwise emailing nobody
- 06When asked and granted, creates or changes versions, projects and meetings, archives projects, locks a user out or lets them back in, or permanently deletes a work package, time entry or project with everything in it
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in OpenProject. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

- 02Comment on a work package
- 03Log time on a work package
- 04Change a work package's subject, description, status, assignee, priority or dates

- 06Relate two work packages (blocks, follows, duplicates and so on)
- 07Remove a relation between work packages
- 08Add a watcher to a work package

- 16Rename, re-describe, archive or unarchive a project
- 17Delete a project and everything in it (permanent)
- 18Create a meeting
- 19Lock a user account
- 20Unlock a user account
Events
When it happens
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in OpenProject, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows OpenProject's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input, and can be remembered where you choose. OpenProject signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.
Events and webhooks- 01A work package was created
- 02A work package was changed
- 03Someone commented on a work package
- 04Someone left an internal comment on a work package
- 05A project was created
- 06A project was changed
- 07Time was logged
- 08A file was attached
In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once OpenProject is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
OpenProject + Memtro
Which work packages in the Platform project are overdue?
What changed on work package 1432 since Monday?
How many hours did the team log on the Northwind rollout last month?
Comment on work package 1432 that the vendor confirmed the date
Mark work package 1520 as blocked by 1432 and add Priya as a watcher
Moving a date
Dan Fletcher asks Memtro to push the BigCo cutover work package to 2 December and note why. With the actions granted, Memtro changes the due date and adds the comment as the token's user, both sent with notifications off, so nobody is emailed.
Teams
Where it fits
The teams that lean on OpenProject most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.
- ProductHear what customers actually ask forProduct manager, Researcher, Designer, Head of product“Which customers asked for SSO this quarter, and what is their combined ARR?”Used alongside Help Scout, HubSpot, Linear, Jira, Slack and 6 more.
- EngineeringKeep decisions from evaporatingEngineer, Tech lead, On call, New joiner“Who owns the billing migration, and what did we decide about retries?”Used alongside GitHub, Linear, Jira, Confluence, Slack and 5 more.

Better together
Works with
A record in OpenProject is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
- Engineering and operationsOpenProject with GitHubIssues, pull requests, code and commits, searchable by anyone who can ask a question.
- Engineering and operationsOpenProject with AWS CloudWatchLogs, metrics and alarms from AWS, answered in plain English with the query that found them.
- Engineering and operationsOpenProject with SentryAsk what is breaking in production and get the stack trace, not a dashboard.
- Documents and wikisOpenProject with NotionSearch pages and query databases, and write to them when you ask.
- Documents and wikisOpenProject with Google DriveSearch Drive and read Docs, Sheets and Slides as text, and write a Doc when you ask.
- Documents and wikisOpenProject with ConfluenceSearch and read wiki pages, and write them when you ask.
- Email, calendar and chatOpenProject with GmailSearch and read mail so the last thread with a customer is one question away, and send the reply when you ask.
- Email, calendar and chatOpenProject with SlackSearch messages, read channel history and threads, post when you ask, and answer when mentioned.
- Email, calendar and chatOpenProject with Google CalendarMeetings in a window, event details, and the next two weeks synced into memory, and events it can create, change or cancel when you ask.

How to connect
Connect withHost and API token
- 1
An administrator allows API tokens in OpenProject under Administration → API and webhooks
- 2
As a dedicated OpenProject user, a member of only the projects Memtro should see, open avatar → My account → Access tokens → API → Generate. The token carries all of that user's permissions, so its role decides which granted actions can work
- 3
In Connections → OpenProject in Memtro type the Host name only, with no https://, path or port (Cloud is <name>.openproject.com), add the sub-path if any, and paste the API token
- 4
Ask which work packages changed in the Platform project this week
Also works from
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The OpenProject tools are the same everywhere.
FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in OpenProject?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a work package in a project; comment on a work package; log time on a work package; change a work package's subject, description, status, assignee, priority or dates; delete a work package; relate two work packages (blocks, follows, duplicates and so on); remove a relation between work packages; add a watcher to a work package; remove a watcher from a work package; correct a logged time entry; delete a logged time entry; edit a comment on a work package; create a version; change a version's name, dates, status or sharing; create a project; rename, re-describe, archive or unarchive a project; delete a project and everything in it (permanent); create a meeting; lock a user account; unlock a user account. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a OpenProject connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my OpenProject data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed OpenProject records into memory as entities.
How do I connect OpenProject?+
Host and API token. An administrator allows API tokens in OpenProject under Administration → API and webhooks.
Can OpenProject start a job?+
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in OpenProject, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows OpenProject's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
