OpenPlan Work
OpenPlan Work is a highly advanced, encrypted PHP workspace designed for teams and solo builders. It is not just a task manager—it is a comprehensive business management suite deeply integrated with autonomous AI agents and built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) capabilities.
Core philosophy:
- Local-first, cloud-ready: run locally in one step and deploy online with environment-based controls.
- Composable: use only the modules you need (tasks, finance, invoices, habits, notes, AI, MCP).
- Data ownership first: military-grade AES-256-GCM encrypted storage, user-scoped settings, and export workflows for clean hosted releases.
- Collaboration-ready: built for admin-managed multi-user setups and open-source contribution.
🚀 Powerful Capabilities
OpenPlan Work is designed to be controlled via traditional UI, API, or autonomous AI.
🤖 Autonomous AI Agent & Orchestrator
The built-in AI Assistant isn't just a chatbot—it is an autonomous agent with function-calling capabilities.
- Powered by Groq or OpenRouter (Claude 3.5, GPT-4o, etc.).
- Full System Control: Can autonomously create clients, manage projects, add tasks, generate invoices, log financial transactions, and write notes based on natural language requests.
- RAG-Lite Integration: Automatically reads from your Knowledge Base folders to provide context-aware answers.
🔌 Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
OpenPlan Work includes a built-in MCP server, allowing external coding agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, or Trae) to interact directly with your workspace.
- Direct Data Access: Your local or hosted AI coding tools can fetch tasks, update project statuses, and read specifications directly from your OpenPlan instance via stdio.
- Secure Bridge: Authenticates seamlessly using your admin email and master password.
💼 Comprehensive Business Suite
- CRM & Project Management: Manage clients, multi-tiered projects, subtasks, priorities, and time estimates.
- Financial Engine: Generate standard and advanced multi-currency invoices (USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR), track revenue/expenses, and manage inventory SKUs.
- Productivity & Health: Integrated Kanban boards, Habit Trackers, Pomodoro timers, and an AI-driven Hydration Tracker.
🔒 Zero-Knowledge Security Architecture
- AES-256-GCM Encryption: All data at rest in the
data/ directory is encrypted.
- Flat-File JSON Storage: No SQL database required. Portable, secure, and incredibly fast.
- Robust Protection: Includes CSRF protection, Bcrypt password hashing, session-based auth, and
.htaccess data protection.
Requirements
- PHP 8.0 or newer
json, mbstring, curl, and openssl extensions
Local Run
php start_server.php- or use
start_server.bat on Windows
Hosted Configuration
Hosted-only auth and image-service switches are environment-controlled.
Supported Models
Current AI providers in this project are Groq and OpenRouter.
| Provider | Models |
|---|
| Groq | llama-3.3-70b-versatile, llama-3.1-8b-instant, and any Groq model ID configured in settings |
| OpenRouter | Any OpenRouter model ID you configure (for example Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and other routed models) |
Clean Release Export
Maintainers can generate a clean zip for GitHub releases or deployment handoff without shipping live data, secrets, agent folders, or local test/debug artifacts.
Notes
- The export pipeline regenerates an empty
data/ folder in the release artifact.
includes/master_password.php and all live data/ contents are excluded from the export.- If you plan to publish this publicly, add a
LICENSE file before treating it as a true open-source release.
