Super Productivity MCP server for Claude Desktop integration

Project description

SP-MCP

Bridge between the amazing Super Productivity app and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Claude Desktop integration.

This MCP and plugin allows Claude Desktop to directly interact with Super Productivity through the MCP protocol. Create update,tasks, manage projects and tags, and get information from Super Productivity.

Make sure to backup your Super Productivity before using in case of data loss. I've provided a plugin.zip for convenience but feel free to make your own from the files.

(Can't delete tasks right now (but it can mark them as done))

Requirements

  • Super Productivity 14.0.0 or higher
  • Claude Desktop
  • Python 3.10 or higher

Installation

1. Install the MCP server

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "super-productivity": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["superproductivity-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

uvx fetches the latest version from PyPI automatically — no Python install or repo clone needed. Requires uv to be installed (brew install uv on macOS).

2. Install the plugin

  • Open Super Productivity → Settings → Plugins
  • Click "Upload Plugin"
  • Select the plugin.zip from the latest GitHub release

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Usage

Creating Tasks

"Create a task to review the quarterly budget #finance +work"

Task Management

"Show me all my tasks"
"Mark the budget review task as complete"
"Update the task 'Meeting prep' with notes about the agenda"

Project and Tag Management

"Create a new project called 'Website Redesign'"
"Show me all projects"
"Get all tags"

Dashboard

Access the SP-MCP dashboard from the menu. The dashboard shows:

  • Real-time statistics
  • Connection status
  • Activity logs
  • Settings (polling frequency: default 2 seconds)

Communication

The plugin uses file-based communication through:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\super-productivity-mcp\
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/super-productivity-mcp/
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/super-productivity-mcp/

Commands are exchanged through plugin_commands/ and plugin_responses/ directories.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. Please open an issue first if you're planning a significant change.

Local Environment

This project uses mise to manage the Python runtime. Install it first:

brew install mise

Then from the repo root, let mise install the correct Python version:

mise install

Dependencies are managed with uv. Install it, then sync the project:

brew install uv
uv sync

This creates a .venv and installs all dependencies from uv.lock.

MCP Config

Copy .mcp.json.example to .mcp.json and update the paths to point to your local clone:

cp .mcp.json.example .mcp.json

.mcp.json is gitignored — it contains machine-specific absolute paths and should not be committed.

Running the Server

uv run superproductivity-mcp

Or let Claude Code pick it up automatically via .mcp.json.

Repo Structure

src/superproductivity_mcp/  # MCP server Python package (install via uvx)
plugin/                     # Super Productivity plugin files
  plugin.js                 # Main plugin JS (install via SP Settings → Plugins)
  plugin.zip                # Pre-packaged zip for convenience
  index.html                # Plugin UI
  manifest.json             # Plugin manifest

Troubleshooting

Plugin Not Loading

  • Check Super Productivity version (14.0.0+ required)
  • Verify plugin permissions include nodeExecution

Commands Not Working

  • Verify both plugin and MCP server are running
  • Check file permissions on communication directories
  • Check mcp_server.log in the data directory
