# Things MCP Server
This [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) server lets you use Claude Desktop to interact with your task management data in [Things 3](https://culturedcode.com/things) from Cultured Code. You can ask Claude to create tasks, analyze projects, help manage priorities, and more.
This server leverages the [Things.py](https://github.com/thingsapi/things.py) library and the [Things URL Scheme](https://culturedcode.com/things/help/url-scheme/).

## Support the Project
If you find this project helpful, consider supporting its development:
[](https://ko-fi.com/haldick)
## Features
- Access to all major Things lists (Inbox, Today, Upcoming, etc.)
- Project and area management
- Tag operations
- Advanced search capabilities
- Recent items
- Detailed item information including checklists
- Support for nested data (projects within areas, todos within projects)
- Someday project filtering: tasks in Someday projects are automatically excluded from Today, Upcoming, and Anytime views, matching Things UI behavior
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- macOS (Things 3 is Mac-only)
- Things 3 app with "Enable Things URLs" turned on (Settings → General)
- A MCP client, such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) Python package manager: `brew install uv`
### Install via uvx (Any MCP Client)
Things MCP is published on PyPI and can be run directly with `uvx`:
```bash
uvx things-mcp
```
Configure your MCP client to use `uvx` with `things-mcp` as the argument.
### Claude Desktop
#### Option 1: One-Click Install (Recommended)
1. Download the latest file from the [releases page](https://github.com/hald/things-mcp/releases)
2. Double-click the `.mcpb` file
3. Done!
#### Option 2: Manual Config
1. Go to **Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config**
2. Add the Things server:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"things": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["things-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
3. Save and restart Claude Desktop
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add-json things '{"command":"uvx","args":["things-mcp"]}'
```
To make it available globally (across all projects), add `-s user`:
```bash
claude mcp add-json -s user things '{"command":"uvx","args":["things-mcp"]}'
```
### Verify it's working
After installation:
- If using Claude Desktop, you should see "Things MCP" in the "Search and tools" list
- Try asking: "What's in my Things inbox?"
### Sample Usage with Claude Desktop
* "What's on my todo list today?"
* "Create a todo to pack for my beach vacation next week, include a packing checklist."
* "Evaluate my current todos using the Eisenhower matrix."
* "Help me conduct a GTD-style weekly review using Things."
* "Show me tasks that haven't been modified in over a month."
#### Tips
* Create a project in Claude with custom instructions that explains how you use Things and organize areas, projects, tags, etc. Tell Claude what information you want included when it creates a new task (eg asking it to include relevant details in the task description might be helpful).
* Try adding another MCP server that gives Claude access to your calendar. This will let you ask Claude to block time on your calendar for specific tasks, create todos from upcoming calendar events (eg prep for a meeting), etc.
* Use task ages to identify stale items: "Which tasks in my Anytime list are older than 2 weeks?"
## Available Tools
### List Views

- `get-today` - Get todos due today
