Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install goodday-mcp

From Source

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• UV package manager (recommended) or pip
• Goodday API token

Setup with UV

1. Install UV (if not already installed):

   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   

2. Clone and set up the project:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/goodday-mcp.git
   cd goodday-mcp
   
   # Create virtual environment and install dependencies
   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
   uv sync
   

Setup with pip

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/goodday-mcp.git
cd goodday-mcp
pip install -e .

Configuration

1. Set up environment variables: Create a .env file in your project root or export the variable:

   export GOODDAY_API_TOKEN=your_goodday_api_token_here
   

   To get your Goodday API token:

   • Go to your Goodday organization
   • Navigate to Settings → API
   • Click the generate button to create a new token

Usage

Running the Server Standalone

If installed from PyPI:

goodday-mcp

If running from source with UV:

uv run goodday-mcp

Using with Claude Desktop

1. Configure Claude Desktop by editing your configuration file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the server configuration:

   Option A: If installed from PyPI:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "goodday": {
         "command": "goodday-mcp",
         "env": {
           "GOODDAY_API_TOKEN": "your_goodday_api_token_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Option B: If running from source:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "goodday": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": ["run", "goodday-mcp"],
         "env": {
           "GOODDAY_API_TOKEN": "your_goodday_api_token_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop to load the new server.

Using with Other MCP Clients

The server communicates via stdio transport and can be integrated with any MCP-compatible client. Refer to the MCP documentation for client-specific integration instructions.

Tool Examples

Get Projects

# Get all active projects
get_projects()

# Get archived projects
get_projects(archived=True)

# Get only root-level projects
get_projects(root_only=True)

Create a Task

create_task(
    project_id="project_123",
    title="Implement new feature",
    from_user_id="user_456",
    message="Detailed description of the task",
    to_user_id="user_789",
    deadline="2025-06-30",
    priority=5
)

Update Task Status

update_task_status(
    task_id="task_123",
    user_id="user_456",
    status_id="status_completed",
    message="Task completed successfully"
)

Data Formats

Date Format

All dates should be provided in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., 2025-06-16).

Priority Levels

• 1-10: Normal priority levels
• 50: Blocker
• 100: Emergency

Project Colors

Project colors are specified as integers from 1-24, corresponding to Goodday's color palette.

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling:

• Authentication errors: When API token is missing or invalid
• Network errors: When Goodday API is unreachable
• Validation errors: When required parameters are missing

Adding New Tools

To add new tools to the server:

1. Add the tool function in goodday_mcp/main.py using the @mcp.tool() decorator:

   @mcp.tool()
   async def your_new_tool(param1: str, param2: Optional[int] = None) -> str:
       """Description of what the tool does.
       
       Args:
           param1: Description of parameter 1
           param2: Description of optional parameter 2
       """
       # Implementation here
       return "Result"
   

2. Test the tool by running the server and testing with an MCP client.

Testing

Test the server by running it directly:

# If installed from PyPI
goodday-mcp

# If running from source
uv run goodday-mcp

The server will start and wait for MCP protocol messages via stdin/stdout.
