## Description

This MCP server provides complete Things.app task management integration for macOS, enabling AI assistants to create, update, and organize tasks and projects through Things' URL scheme and direct database access. Built by panwenbo using TypeScript with the MCP SDK, it offers task and project creation with full metadata support (notes, tags, deadlines, areas, checklist items), update operations for existing items including completion and cancellation status, database export functionality for backup and analysis, and a summary tool that generates formatted overviews of all tasks, projects, areas, and tags. The implementation includes authentication token support for update operations, direct SQLite database querying for read operations, and comprehensive filtering options for targeted data retrieval, making it valuable for personal productivity automation, task management workflows integrated with AI assistants, and users who want to programmatically interact with their Things.app data without manual entry.
