**MCP server for TickTick** — manage tasks, projects, habits, tags, focus stats, and more through the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).

**71 tools** exposed over MCP, covering both the official TickTick Open API (V1) and the unofficial web API (V2) for features not yet available publicly.

### Query / Search highlights

- **Structured task filtering** — folders, projects, tags, parent/subtask shape, reminders, recurrence, checklist presence, and priorities.
- **Time-aware agenda access** — query by date range, datetime range, and HH:MM time windows without forcing a full sync first.
- **Grep-like matching** — substring search, `any` / `all` / `phrase` keyword modes, regex, and exclusion regex across chosen fields.
- **Targeted note search** — notes are fetched only from NOTE projects in scope instead of materializing the whole workspace.
- **Workspace navigation** — folder/project map with optional active task counts to inspect the account structure before acting.
- **Ready-made operational views** — day view, week window, upcoming due tasks, overdue/stale detection, and priority summaries built on the same filter engine.
- **Saved query presets** — persist reusable task/note/agenda/history/week-overview queries and execute them later without rebuilding the filter set.

### Verified workflow helpers

- **Subtask-safe creation** — `create_subtask` creates the child, links it, then verifies `parentId` and `childIds`.
- **Move verification** — `verified_move_tasks` re-reads destination projects and confirms every moved task is actually there.
- **Folder assignment verification** — `verified_assign_project_folder` verifies the persisted `groupId` through V2 sync, not through the misleading V1 response.

### Intent-first discovery

`ticktick_guide()` supports both technical categories and real user goals.

- Category-oriented:
  - `ticktick_guide(category="tasks")`
- Intent-oriented:
  - `ticktick_guide(intent="know_what_to_do_today")`
  - `ticktick_guide(intent="plan_the_week")`
  - `ticktick_guide(intent="find_a_note")`
  - `ticktick_guide(intent="reorganize_projects")`
  - `ticktick_guide(intent="clean_up_tasks")`

## Installation

```bash
# recommended — installs as a standalone tool
uv tool install tick-mcp

# or via pip
pip install tick-mcp
```

This provides two commands:

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `tick-mcp` | Start the MCP server (stdio transport) |
| `tick-admin` | CLI helper — session refresh, diagnostics |

## Configuration

### 1. Environment variables

Copy the example file and fill in your tokens:

```bash
cp src/tick_mcp/.env.example src/tick_mcp/.env
```

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TICKTICK_API_TOKEN` | **Yes** | V1 Open API bearer token (PAT or OAuth2) |
| `TICKTICK_SESSION_TOKEN` | No | V2 session cookie for extended features |

**Getting a V1 token (simplest):**

1. Open TickTick → Settings → Integrations → API
2. Copy the displayed Personal Access Token

**Getting a V2 session token:**

1. Log in to [ticktick.com](https://ticktick.com) in your browser
2. DevTools → Application → Cookies → copy the `t` cookie value

Or use the CLI to auto-login:

```bash
tick-admin session refresh
```

### 2. Server config

Runtime settings live in `src/tick_mcp/config.yaml` — API endpoints, timeouts, and user-agent are all externalised there.

## MCP Client Integration

### Claude Desktop

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Linux):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ticktick": {
      "command": "tick-mcp",
      "env": {
        "TICKTICK_API_TOKEN": "your-v1-token",
        "TICKTICK_SESSION_TOKEN": "your-v2-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "ticktick": {
      "command": "tick-mcp",
      "env": {
        "TICKTICK_API_TOKEN": "your-v1-token",
        "TICKTICK_SESSION_TOKEN": "your-v2-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Other MCP clients

Any client that supports the stdio transport can launch `tick-mcp` as a subprocess.

## Development

```bash
# Clone & install dev deps
git clone https://github.com/kpihx/tick-mcp.git
cd tick-mcp
uv sync --group dev

# Unit tests (155 selected unit tests, no network)
uv run pytest

# Live tests against real TickTick API (requires tokens in .env)
uv run pytest -m live
```

### Test suite

- **155 selected unit tests** — pure logic, mocked HTTP, zero network
- **12 live integration scripts** — 508 assertions against the real TickTick API
