Example Use Cases

1
Read and summarize the contents of Things 3 lists (Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Someday) to help prioritize and plan a user's day.
2
Create or update todos and projects in Things 3 programmatically, including adding checklists and using the Things URL scheme.
3
Perform advanced searches, filter tasks by tags/areas/dates, or produce reports (e.g., recent items, completed logbook) from a user's Things database.

Description

This server exposes Things 3 functionality over the Model Context Protocol, allowing agents like Claude Desktop to read lists (Inbox, Today, Upcoming, etc.), create and update todos and projects, run advanced searches, and operate on tags and checklists. It leverages the things.py library and the Things URL Scheme to interact with the native app. Installation is macOS-focused and supports a DXT package for easy Claude Desktop setup or a manual install using uv. The README documents available tools, filters, and troubleshooting tips to help integrate Things with agent workflows.
