# Project Paced - AI Crawler Guidelines

> Last Updated: 2026-10-10

## About

Project Paced is a minimalist project management tool for executive-ready timeline visualizations. It helps teams create presentation-grade timelines in seconds without the complexity of traditional Gantt charts.

## Key Value Proposition

- Stop manually building timelines in PowerPoint.
- Create executive-level visual timelines, not dense task-management Gantt charts.
- Export standard branded PNGs on Free, high-resolution unbranded PNGs on Pro, and PDF/status reports on Enterprise.
- Plan with drag-and-drop editing and instant timeline updates.
- Generate project timelines from plain-language descriptions using AI.
- Connect AI assistants to Project Paced through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

## MCP Server for AI Assistants

Project Paced exposes a remote MCP server at:

https://mcp.projectpaced.com/mcp

Connect Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible assistants. Other clients must support remote Streamable HTTP MCP and compatible OAuth or bearer-token authentication.

Primary setup guide:

https://projectpaced.com/docs/mcp

Available MCP tools:

- `generate_timeline` - generate an AI-powered project timeline from a plain-text description.
- `get_projects` - list projects in the user's Project Paced account.
- `get_timeline` - retrieve a specific project and its milestones.
- `update_milestone` - update milestone dates, status, actual start, or completion date without consuming an AI generation.
- `get_resources` - read the Enterprise team roster and allocation status.
- `get_project_allocations` - read the team allocated to a specific project.
- `get_project_health` - read the Command Centre Project Health dashboard for a project.
- `get_attention_items` - read the Command Centre "Needs attention" strip for over-capacity resources.
- `get_weekly_update` - read PMO-style status reports for eligible accounts.
- `get_project_history` - read weekly project snapshot history for trend analysis.
- `get_capacity` - query portfolio capacity and utilisation heatmap data for Enterprise accounts.

Authentication:

- OAuth for Claude and ChatGPT setup. In ChatGPT, select DCR (Dynamic Client Registration) before Authenticate.
- Bearer token API keys for compatible remote HTTP MCP clients that accept custom Authorization headers.
- Client setup and availability depend on the assistant and workspace permissions. See the MCP setup guide for requirements.

## Pricing
