README - Reclaim.ai MCP Server 🚀 by jj3ny

Reclaim.ai MCP Server 🚀 (UNOFFICIAL)

⚠️ UNOFFICIAL & UNAFFILIATED – This project is not endorsed, sponsored, or supported by Reclaim.ai. It simply uses Reclaim's public API. Use at your own risk and comply with Reclaim's Terms of Service.

A community‑maintained Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets any MCP‑capable client (Claude Desktop, Continue, Cursor, custom scripts, …) interact with the Reclaim.ai API through a set of standard resources & tools.

🧐 Why MCP?

MCP is the "USB‑C" of LLM integrations – one wire that lets every model talk to every tool.
Run this server once and all your MCP‑aware apps instantly gain Reclaim super‑powers.

✨ Key Features

Active‑tasks resource (tasks://active)
14 task‑operation tools (list, create, update, complete, timers, …)
🛡 Type‑safe (TypeScript + Zod) & solid error‑handling
📦 Zero‑config stdio transport – perfect for local AI assistants

⚠️ Known Issues

COMPLETE ≠ done. Reclaim marks a task COMPLETE when its scheduled block ends, even if you haven't finished the work. This server does include those tasks as active when the LLM uses the tool to pull active tasks (and reminds the model that COMPLETE tasks are still active). However, LLMs (Claude) sometimes ignore COMPLETE tasks when asked for "open" or "active" tasks. If that happens, you may need to prompt the LLM explicitly to "include tasks with status COMPLETE".

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites
- Node.js ≥ 18
- Reclaim API key
Claude Desktop configuration (minimal)

{ "mcpServers": { "reclaim": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "reclaim-mcp-server" ], "env": { "RECLAIM_API_KEY": "xxx" } } } }


**Alternative Configuration:**

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
 "reclaim": {
   "command": "absolute/path/to/node (run `which node` in terminal)",
   "args": [
     "/absolute/path/to/reclaim-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
   ],
   "env": { "RECLAIM_API_KEY": "xxx" }
 }
}
}

Alternative: Manual Installation

If you prefer to install from source:

git clone https://github.com/jj3ny/reclaim-mcp-server.git
cd reclaim-mcp-server
pnpm install && pnpm build

# Run with your API key
RECLAIM_API_KEY=your_api_key node dist/index.js
