Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@FastMCP Todo Serveradd 'update project documentation' to my todo list"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Omnispindle
FastMCP-based task and knowledge management system for AI agents
Omnispindle is the coordination layer of the Madness Interactive ecosystem. It provides standardized MCP tools for todo management, lesson capture, and cross-project coordination that AI agents can use to actually get work done.
What it does
For AI Agents:
Add, query, update, and complete todos with full audit logging
Capture and search lessons learned across projects
Access project-aware context and explanations
Coordinate work across the Madness Interactive ecosystem
For Humans:
Visual dashboard through Inventorium
Real-time updates via MQTT
Claude Desktop integration via MCP
Project-aware working directories
For the Future:
Terraria mod integration (tools as inventory items - yes, really)
SwarmDesk 3D workspace coordination
Game-like AI context management for all skill levels

Installation
📦 PyPI Installation (Recommended)
Available CLI commands after installation:
omnispindle- Web server for authenticated endpointsomnispindle-server- Alias for web serveromnispindle-stdio- MCP stdio server for Claude Desktop
🚀 Claude Desktop Integration (Zero Config!)
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
That's it! The first time you use an Omnispindle tool:
🌐 Your browser opens automatically for Auth0 login
🔐 Log in with Google (or Auth0 credentials)
✅ Token is saved locally for future use
🎯 All MCP tools work seamlessly with your authenticated context
No tokens to copy, no manual config files, no complex setup!

Architecture
Omnispindle v1.0.0 features a modern API-first architecture:
🏗 Core Components
FastMCP Server - High-performance MCP implementation with stdio/HTTP transports
API-First Design - HTTP calls to
madnessinteractive.cc/api(recommended)Hybrid Mode - API-first with local database fallback for reliability
Zero-Config Auth - Automatic Auth0 device flow authentication
Tool Loadouts - Configurable tool sets to reduce AI agent token usage
🔄 Operation Modes
api- HTTP API calls only (recommended for production)hybrid- API-first with MongoDB fallback (default)local- Direct MongoDB connections (legacy mode)auto- Automatically choose best performing mode
🔐 Authentication & Security
Auth0 Integration - JWT tokens from device flow authentication
API Key Support - Alternative authentication method
User Isolation - All data scoped to authenticated user context
Git-secrets Protection - Automated credential scanning and prevention

Development
Production Deployment
Option 1: Local STDIO (Claude Desktop)
For local development and use with clients like Claude Desktop, the stdio server is recommended. It now supports secure authentication via Auth0 tokens.
Get Your Auth0 Token: Follow the instructions in the MCP Client Auth Guide.
Configure Claude Desktop: Update your
claude_desktop_config.json:
This is now the preferred and most secure way to use Omnispindle with local MCP clients.
Option 2: Remote HTTP (Cloudflare Protected)
Configure MCP client:
Privacy & Security
This repository contains sensitive configurations:
Auth0 client credentials and domain settings
Database connection strings and API endpoints
MCP tool implementations with business logic
Infrastructure as Code with account identifiers
For production use:
Fork this repository for your own organization
Update all authentication providers and credentials
Configure your own domain and SSL certificates
Review and modify tool permissions as needed
Not recommended for public deployment without modification.
Philosophy
We build tools that make AI agents actually useful for real work. Simple interfaces, robust backends, and enough ambition to make it interesting.
The todo management works today. The Terraria integration will make your kids better at prompt engineering than most adults. The 3D workspace will make remote work feel like science fiction.
But first: get your todos managed properly.
