SP-MCP

Bridge between the amazing Super Productivity app and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Claude Desktop integration.

This MCP and plugin allows Claude Desktop to directly interact with Super Productivity through the MCP protocol. Create update,tasks, manage projects and tags, and get information from Super Productivity.

Make sure to backup your Super Productivity before using in case of data loss. I've provided a plugin.zip for convenience but feel free to make your own from the files.

(Can't delete tasks right now (but it can mark them as done))

Requirements

• Super Productivity 14.0.0 or higher

• Claude Desktop

• Python 3.8 or higher

Installation

Automatic Setup

Windows:

1. Clone this repo

2. Run setup.bat

3. Follow the prompts

Linux/Mac UNTESTED:

1. Clone this repo

2. Run chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

3. Follow the prompts

The setup scripts will preserve any existing MCP servers in your Claude Desktop configuration.

You'll still have to install the plugin.zip manually in Super Productivity in settings->plugins.

Once that's done, restart claude (and Super Prod for good measure) and you should be able to access your files

Manual Setup

1. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install mcp

2. Set up MCP server: Copy mcp_server.py to your data directory:

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\super-productivity-mcp\

   • Linux: ~/.local/share/super-productivity-mcp/

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/super-productivity-mcp/

3. Configure Claude Desktop: Edit Claude's config file and add to mcpServers:

   "super-productivity": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/mcp_server.py"] }

4. Install the plugin:

   • Open Super Productivity → Settings → Plugins

   • Click "Upload Plugin"

   • Select plugin.js

5. Restart Claude Desktop

Dashboard

Access the SP-MCP dashboard from the menu. The dashboard shows:

• Real-time statistics

• Connection status

Communication

The plugin uses file-based communication through:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\super-productivity-mcp\

• Linux: ~/.local/share/super-productivity-mcp/

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/super-productivity-mcp/

Commands are exchanged through plugin_commands/ and plugin_responses/ directories.

Troubleshooting

Plugin Not Loading

• Check Super Productivity version (14.0.0+ required)

• Verify plugin permissions include nodeExecution

Commands Not Working

• Verify both plugin and MCP server are running

• Check file permissions on communication directories

• Check mcp_server.log in the data directory
