Tududi MCP Server

A whitelabel Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects LLM-powered clients to Tududi — an open-source productivity and GTD (Getting Things Done) application created by Chris Vel.

Tududi helps users organise tasks, projects, notes, and areas following GTD methodology. This MCP server acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, etc.) to read and manipulate Tududi data through a standardised protocol.

Prerequisite: You need a running Tududi instance (self-hosted) with API access enabled. The MCP server connects to Tududi's REST API and does not include the Tududi application itself.

How it works

The server exposes a single MCP endpoint at app/mcp/route.ts built on Next.js Route Handlers. On each request, it:

1. Authenticates — validates the bearer token against the Tududi instance's /api/profile endpoint.

2. Registers modules — lazily loads all 8 domain modules (tasks, projects, notes, areas, inbox, tags, profile, metrics) and registers their tools and resources with the MCP server.

3. Serves tools & resources — the connected MCP client discovers and invokes them as needed.

Authentication is handled via mcp-handler's withMcpAuth wrapper with token verification against the Tududi API.

Prerequisites

• A running Tududi instance — self-host the original Tududi project and obtain an API token.

• Node.js 18+ or Bun runtime.

Whitelabel configuration

The server authenticates per-request using HTTP headers sent by the MCP client. The tududi-api-url header identifies the Tududi instance and the Authorization header carries the bearer token.

Client-side headers

MCP client configuration example

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "tududi": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://my-tududi-mcp.vercel.app/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "tududi-api-url": "https://my-tududi.com",
          "Authorization": "Bearer my-api-token",
          "tududi-enabled-modules": "tasks,projects,notes"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Available modules

tasks · projects · notes · areas · inbox · tags · profile · metrics

Setup & running

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Development

Using with MCP clients

1. Deploy this server (e.g. Vercel) or run it locally.

2. Point your MCP client to the endpoint https://your-host/mcp.

3. Set the tududi-api-url and Authorization headers as shown above.

4. The client will auto-discover all registered tools and resources.
