Motion MCP Server

by vaibuep

motion_tasks

Manage Motion tasks by creating, listing, updating, deleting, moving, and unassigning them. Filter tasks by workspace, project, status, assignee, priority, due date, or labels.

Instructions

Manage Motion tasks - supports create, list, get, update, delete, move, unassign, and list_all_uncompleted operations

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
operationYesOperation to perform
taskIdNoTask ID (required for get/update/delete/move/unassign)
workspaceIdNoFilter by workspace (for list)
workspaceNameNoFilter by workspace name (for list)
projectIdNoFilter by project (for list)
projectNameNoProject name (alternative to projectId)
statusNoFilter by status (for list). Single string or array of strings (e.g., ["Todo", "Completed"]). Without status or includeAllStatuses, only active (non-resolved) tasks are returned. Use motion_statuses to list valid values per workspace.
includeAllStatusesNoWhen true, returns tasks across all statuses including completed/resolved (for list). Cannot be combined with status filter.
assigneeIdNoFilter by assignee (for list/list_all_uncompleted), set assignee (for create/update), or reassign (for move)
assigneeNoFilter by assignee name, email, or 'me' shortcut (for list and list_all_uncompleted). Resolved to an ID automatically
priorityNoFilter by priority level (for list, filtered client-side): ASAP, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW
dueDateNoDue date (for create/update) or filter (for list, filtered client-side — returns tasks due on or before this date). Date-only values are stored as end-of-day UTC. Format: YYYY-MM-DD or relative like 'today', 'tomorrow'
labelsNoFilter by labels (for list). Array of label names
nameNoTask name (required for create, optional for list as case-insensitive substring search)
descriptionNoTask description
durationNoMinutes (as number) or 'NONE'/'REMINDER' (as string)
autoScheduledNoAuto-scheduling configuration. Can be either: - A schedule name string: "Work Hours" (simple, no start date) - An object for full control: {"schedule": "Work Hours", "startDate": "2025-03-05", "deadlineType": "SOFT"} When the user specifies a start date, you MUST use the object form. Use motion_schedules to see available schedule names.
targetWorkspaceIdNoTarget workspace ID (required for move operation). Move transfers a task between workspaces — project-level targeting is not supported by the Motion API.
limitNoMaximum number of tasks to return (for list and list_all_uncompleted)
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavior. However, it omits critical details such as whether operations are idempotent, require specific permissions, or have side effects (e.g., archiving vs deletion). The schema covers parameter specifics but not overall tool behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence listing operations, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it lacks structure (e.g., sections for operations, prerequisites) that could improve readability for an agent. Still, it is efficient and clear.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 19 parameters and 8 operations with no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain when each operation is appropriate, prerequisites, or the format of responses. For a tool of this complexity, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with each parameter having a detailed description. The tool description itself adds no extra parameter information beyond listing operations, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Manage Motion tasks' and lists all supported operations (create, list, get, update, delete, move, unassign, list_all_uncompleted). This differentiates it from sibling tools like motion_comments, motion_projects, etc., which manage other resources.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus its alternatives (e.g., motion_search for searching, motion_statuses for statuses, motion_recurring_tasks for recurring tasks). The description does not provide exclusions or context for operation selection.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
