## Description

**As a** user working with an AI assistant connected to the OpenProject MCP server  
**I want to** the assistant to know the phases of a project and when they start and end  
**so that** it can answer questions about the project timeline and assign work packages to the right phase

**Acceptance criteria**

*   When an assistant looks up a project through the MCP project search, it sees the active phases of that project in their order, each with start and finish date.
    
*   Phases that are not active in the project are not shown.
    

**Technical notes**

*   <br>
    

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

*   Only available when the `mcp_server` is active and the tool is enabled.
    
*   Phases are only shown to users with the View project phases permission in that project, same as in the UI and APIv3.
