Reclaim.ai MCP Server 🚀 _(UNOFFICIAL)_

> ⚠️ UNOFFICIAL & UNAFFILIATED – This project is not endorsed, sponsored, or supported by Reclaim.ai. It simply uses Reclaim's public API. Use at your own risk and comply with Reclaim's Terms of Service.

>

> Official alternative: Reclaim.ai offers an official remote MCP server at `https://mcp.reclaim.ai`. You may prefer the first-party integration over this community server. See Reclaim's setup instructions and #3.

A community‑maintained **Model Context Protocol** (MCP) server that lets _any_ MCP‑capable client (Claude Desktop, Continue, Cursor, custom scripts, …) interact with the Reclaim.ai API through a set of standard resources & tools.


🧐 Why MCP?

  • MCP is the "USB‑C" of LLM integrations – one wire that lets every model talk to every tool.
  • Run this server once and _all_ your MCP‑aware apps instantly gain Reclaim super‑powers.

✨ Key Features

  • Active‑tasks resource (`tasks://active`)
  • 13 task‑operation tools (list, create, update, complete, timers, …)
  • 🛡 Type‑safe (TypeScript + Zod) & solid error‑handling
  • 📦 Zero‑config stdio transport – perfect for local AI assistants

⚠️ Known Issues

`COMPLETE` ≠ done. Reclaim marks a task `COMPLETE` when its _scheduled block_ ends, even if you haven't finished the work. This server does include those tasks as active when the LLM uses the tool to pull active tasks (and reminds the model that `COMPLETE` tasks are still active). However, LLMs (Claude) sometimes ignore `COMPLETE` tasks when asked for "open" or "active" tasks. If that happens, you may need to prompt the LLM explicitly to "include tasks with status COMPLETE".

🚀 Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

    2. Claude Desktop configuration (minimal)

    json
    {
         "mcpServers": {
           "reclaim": {
             "command": "npx",
             "args": ["reclaim-mcp-server"],
             "env": { "RECLAIM_API_KEY": "xxx" }
           }
         }
       }

    Alternative Configuration:

    json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "reclaim": {
          "command": "absolute/path/to/node (run `which node` in terminal)",
          "args": ["/absolute/path/to/reclaim-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
          "env": { "RECLAIM_API_KEY": "xxx" }
        }
      }
    }

    Alternative: Manual Installation

    If you prefer to install from source:

    bash
    git clone https://github.com/jj3ny/reclaim-mcp-server.git
    cd reclaim-mcp-server
    pnpm install && pnpm build
    
    # Run with your API key
