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., "@To Do List MCP add buy groceries and call mom to my to-do 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.
To Do List MCP
A minimal Model Context Protocol server that exposes a
personal to-do list backed by SQLite. Built with the official Python
mcp SDK.

uv syncUsage
Claude Desktop

Developer → Edit Config), or install it automatically with the MCP CLI:
uv run mcp install src/to_do_list_mcp/server.py --name "To Do List"This adds an entry like the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"To Do List": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--with",
"mcp[cli]",
"mcp",
"run",
"/absolute/path/to/to_do_list_mcp/src/to_do_list_mcp/server.py"
]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop afterwards for the server to be picked up.
Development
Run the server directly with the MCP Inspector for interactive testing:
uv run mcp dev src/to_do_list_mcp/server.pyLicense

Disambiguation4/5
task_add, task_update, task_complete, and task_get target reasonably distinct actions on a task. However, task_complete overlaps with task_update (completing is a specialized update), and the absence of descriptions leaves boundaries somewhat implicit.
Naming Consistency5/5
All four tools follow a strict task_<verb> snake_case pattern with no deviations. The convention is predictable and immediately readable.
Tool Count4/5
Four tools is a sensible, well-scoped surface for a simple to-do list server. It is on the lean side but each tool maps to a clear operation.
Completeness3/5
The set covers create, read, update, and complete, but lacks a list/query-all operation and a delete/remove operation. These are notable gaps for a to-do domain that will force agents to work around missing lifecycle steps.
