* org-mcp

A python-based MCP server for your local org mode files.
Allows access to your org notes, agenda, and TODOs.

That said, you probably want [org-cli](https://github.com/andyreagan/org-cli) instead.
I'll continue providing maintainence updates here,
but am only actively developing on [org-cli](https://github.com/andyreagan/org-cli).

- Based on my long term career and personal goals, what suggestions would a
  coach give me? E.g., reprioritizing open TODOs, specific actions to take.
