Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "ticktick": { "command": "python", "args": ["/path/to/ticktick-mcp/ticktick_mcp.py"], "env": {} } } }

Using uv (recommended):

{ "mcpServers": { "ticktick": { "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/ticktick-mcp", "python", "ticktick_mcp.py"] } } }

For Other MCP Clients

Run the server directly:

python ticktick_mcp.py

First-Time Setup (OAuth Authentication)

Once the MCP server is connected, use these tools in order:

1. Configure Credentials

Tell Claude:

"Configure TickTick with my credentials: Client ID is YOUR_CLIENT_ID and Client Secret is YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"

This will:

  • Save your credentials securely

  • Generate an authorization URL for you to visit

2. Authorize the App

  1. Claude will provide an authorization URL

  2. Open the URL in your browser

  3. Log in to TickTick and click "Allow"

  4. You'll be redirected to a URL like: http://127.0.0.1:8080/callback?code=ABCD1234&state=mcp_auth

  5. Copy the code parameter (ABCD1234 in this example)

3. Complete Authorization

Tell Claude:

"Complete TickTick authorization with code: ABCD1234"

You're now authenticated! The token is cached for ~6 months.

File Locations

The server stores configuration and tokens in your home directory:

  • Configuration: ~/.ticktick-mcp-config.json

  • OAuth Token: ~/.ticktick-mcp-token.json

To reset authentication, delete these files.

Troubleshooting

"Not authenticated" Error

Run ticktick_check_auth to verify your authentication status, then re-run the OAuth flow if needed.

"Token expired" Error

Delete ~/.ticktick-mcp-token.json and re-authenticate.

"Rate limit exceeded" Error

Wait a minute before making more requests. TickTick has API rate limits.

"Resource not found" Error

Double-check the task ID and project ID. Use ticktick_list_tasks to see valid IDs.
