Overview

What is Things MCP Server?

Things MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Desktop read and write task management data in the Things app (Things 3). It translates natural‑language requests into structured interactions with your projects, todos, tags, and areas, making it ideal for anyone who wants AI‑assisted task management.

How to use Things MCP Server?

Install via pip install things-mcp (Python 3.12+) and run things-mcp. Obtain your Things authentication token from Things → Preferences → General, then configure it through the included configure_token.py script or by setting the THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. Finally, add the server to Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json.
