About

Zoho Projects ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 34 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Zoho Projects puts project management into a workflow: list portals, users and projects, create, update, trash and restore projects, manage task lists, tasks, milestones and issues (bugs), and read, log and edit time.

It uses the current V3 API (/api/v3). Zoho hosts every account in one of eleven regional data centres, each with its own sign-in endpoint and API host, so this app routes each region through its own dedicated connection rather than one that could send a request to the wrong region.

Filters, bulk operations, comments, attachments, dependencies, custom fields, forums, documents, users administration, templates and automation are deliberately left out.

Build with Zoho Projects

Three routes to the same 34 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Zoho Projects's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Issue

issue-create

Create an issue (bug) in a project.

Delete Issue

issue-delete

Delete an issue (bug).

Get Issue

issue-get

Fetch one issue (bug).

List Issues

issue-list

List the issues (bugs) of a project. The vendor requires page and per_page, so they default to 1 and 100.

Update Issue

issue-update

Update an issue's title, description, assignee, status or due date.

Create Milestone

milestone-create

Create a milestone (phase) in a project. The vendor requires an owner and a status.

Delete Milestone

milestone-delete

Delete a milestone (phase). Uses the v3.1 endpoint.

Get Milestone

milestone-get

Fetch one milestone (phase). Uses the v3.1 endpoint.

List Milestones

milestone-list

List the milestones (phases) of a project. Uses the v3.1 endpoint.

Update Milestone

milestone-update

Update a milestone (phase). Uses the v3.1 endpoint.

Get Portal

portal-get

Fetch one portal's details (plan, owner, timezone).

List Portals

portal-list

List the portals (organisations) the connected user can access. Portal IDs feed every other action.

Create Project

project-create

Create a project in a portal. Optionally copy the configuration of a template or existing project.

Get Project

project-get

Fetch one project's details.

List Projects

project-list

List the projects of a portal.

Restore Project

project-restore

Restore a project from the portal bin.

Trash Project

project-trash

Move a project to the portal bin (restorable with Restore Project).

Update Project

project-update

Update a project's name, description, owner, dates, visibility or status.

List Project Users

project-user-list

List the users who belong to a project.

Create Task

task-create

Create a task (or a subtask when a parent task is given). With no task list the general task list is used.

Delete Task

task-delete

Delete a task.

Get Task

task-get

Fetch one task.

List Tasks

task-list

List the tasks of a project.

Update Task

task-update

Update a task's name, description, status, priority, dates, completion or billing type.

Create Task List

tasklist-create

Create a task list in a project.

Delete Task List

tasklist-delete

Delete a task list.

List Task Lists

tasklist-list

List the task lists of a project.

Update Task List

tasklist-update

Rename a task list or change its milestone, visibility or status.

Create Time Log

timelog-create

Log time against a task, an issue or the project in general.

Get Time Log

timelog-get

Fetch one time log.

List Time Logs

timelog-list

List the time logs of a project for a day, week, month, custom date range or the whole project span.

Update Time Log

timelog-update

Update a time log's date, hours, billing status, notes or owner.

Get Portal User

user-get

Fetch one portal user by ZPUID or email address.

List Portal Users

user-list

List the users of a portal. Filter by user type (users, client users, contacts, resources) and active/inactive.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Zoho Projects's real ids.

+29 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Zoho Projects, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Zoho Projects. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk

const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({

Give an AI agent Zoho Projects — without giving it Zoho Projects's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.zoho-projects#issue-create",
    "input": {
      "portalId": "<portalId>",
      "projectId": "<projectId>",
      "name": "<name>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Zoho Projects connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Zoho Projects's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Zoho Projects itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Zoho Projects declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
