basecamp-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Basecamp CLI.

Exposes Basecamp commands as MCP tools over HTTP or stdio. Shells out to the basecamp CLI binary, so all auth, config, and output formatting is handled by the CLI.

Prerequisites

  • Basecamp CLI installed and authenticated (basecamp auth login)

  • Python 3.11+ / uv

Related MCP server: TaskWarrior MCP Server

Quick Start

One command to start the server:

uvx --from "git+https://github.com/FarisHijazi/basecamp-mcp.git" basecamp-mcp --port 8818

Then add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http basecamp http://localhost:8818/mcp --scope user

That's it. Start a new Claude Code session and you'll have all 49 Basecamp tools available.

Claude Code MCP Config

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to your .mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.claude.json (global):

HTTP mode (run the server yourself):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "http://localhost:8818/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Stdio mode (Claude Code spawns the process automatically):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from", "git+https://github.com/FarisHijazi/basecamp-mcp.git",
        "basecamp-mcp", "--stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

# Run from GitHub (no install needed)
uvx --from "git+https://github.com/FarisHijazi/basecamp-mcp.git" basecamp-mcp --port 8818

# Or install locally
uv pip install -e .
basecamp-mcp --port 8818

# Stdio transport (for local Claude Code)
basecamp-mcp --stdio
