A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides:
- **Todo List Management**: Persistent todo list with SQLite database storage
- **Reminder Service**: Desktop notifications with optional sound alerts
- **Cross-platform Sound System**: Sound playback on Windows, macOS, and Linux

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites
- [UV](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) installed
- Python 3.11 or higher

### Configuration
The application stores data in `~/.todo-list-mcp/` directory:
- `todo_list.db` - SQLite database for tasks
- `reminder_daemon/` - Reminder daemon data

No additional configuration is required unless you want to customize the database location.
You can optionally create a `.env` file in `~/.todo-list-mcp/` with:
```env
TODO_LIST_MCP__DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///path/to/custom/location.db
```

### VSCode IDE Setup
Enter the following details in your `mcp.json` configuration file:

```json
"todo-list-mcp": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "todo-list-mcp@latest"
    ]
}
```

## Features
