Hosted Plane MCP alternatives
Plane offers a hosted endpoint for its MCP server, so you can add it by URL and let it reach your cloud workspace without running anything. If you liked that setup and want the same shape pointed at a different tracker, every option below is a managed remote endpoint too.
The hosted alternatives that line up against Plane lean toward task and project management, since that is the job Plane does. A couple reach into docs and knowledge instead, for teams whose planning is really writing.
The 8 best hosted alternatives
One hosted endpoint reaches both Jira and Confluence through the official Atlassian server, reading, searching, creating, and updating issues and pages. It answers the tracking and the docs side at once.
Set up Atlassian (Jira & Confluence) →Boards are the unit in monday.com, and its official server creates and updates items, manages boards, columns, and groups, and queries the API over a hosted connection.
Set up monday.com →Stories, Epics, Iterations, Objectives, and Docs are the units in Shortcut's hosted server, which finds, creates, and updates them with nothing to run. A close match to Plane's cycles and modules.
Set up Shortcut →- AsanaOfficial
Asana's official remote server searches, reads, creates, and updates tasks, projects, and portfolios. The portfolio rollup suits teams managing many projects from one view.
Set up Asana → Add it by URL and Notion's server searches, reads, and writes across a workspace over OAuth. It fits teams whose planning lives in Notion databases rather than a dedicated tracker.
Set up Notion →When the work is really a task list, Doist's official Todoist server is sharper than Plane: tasks, projects, sections, labels, reminders, and goals over a managed endpoint.
Set up Todoist →- ClickUpOfficial
ClickUp's official remote server is the broadest single workspace here: tasks, lists, folders, docs, time tracking, and chat, all over a hosted URL.
Set up ClickUp → - GuruOfficial
The outlier, Guru's hosted server brings verified company knowledge into a client: ask, search, draft, and update Cards. It covers the knowledge layer around a project, not the tracking itself.

How to choose
Every option installs the way Plane's hosted server does: a URL and an authenticated grant, nothing to run. Atlassian covers the most ground by reaching Jira and Confluence together; monday, Shortcut, Asana, and Todoist are sharper if you mainly track work. ClickUp is the broadest workspace, and Guru fits if the gap is verified knowledge rather than tickets.
