dart-mcp-server

MCP server that bridges the Dart project management platform to AI assistants. The server is TypeScript but delegates all Dart API calls to a Python subprocess using the dart-sdk package.

What It Does

Exposes Dart's task management, document, space, and dartboard operations as MCP tools. Each tool call spawns a Python process that imports dart-sdk, executes the operation, and returns JSON results over stdout. Communicates with MCP clients over stdio.

Setup

Via Smithery

npx -y @smithery/cli install @jmanhype/dart-mcp-server --client claude

Manual

git clone https://github.com/jmanhype/dart-mcp-server.git
cd dart-mcp-server
npm install          # also runs postinstall: creates .venv and pip installs dart-sdk
npm run build
npm start

Environment Variables

Variable

Required

Description

DART_TOKEN

Yes

Dart API token (get from your Dart profile)

PYTHONPATH

No

Path to Dart SDK if not in default location

PYTHON_PATH

No

Path to Python executable (defaults to system Python)

Verifying the Python Environment

python -c "import dart; print(dart.__version__)"

If this fails, the MCP server will not be able to execute any tools.

Architecture

src/
  index.ts  — MCP server, tool handlers, Python subprocess management
  test.ts   — Basic test runner

Each tool handler builds a Python script as a string, spawns python3 -c "<script>", and parses the JSON output. The Python process has a 120-second timeout.

Limitations

  • Every tool call spawns a new Python process (no persistent connection to Dart API)

  • The .env path is hardcoded to /Users/speed/dart-tools/.env in the source

  • No input validation beyond what the Dart SDK provides

  • No pagination support for list operations

  • Error messages from the Python subprocess are passed through as-is

  • The postinstall script creates a virtualenv, which may fail in some CI environments
