PocketBase Task MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with PocketBase to manage tasks and projects. This server allows AI models (like Claude) to create tasks, list tasks with status filters, and browse projects.

Now running over HTTP - Easy to test locally and ready for deployment!

Features

• HTTP Transport: Simple URL-based access, no complex configuration needed
• Tool Chaining: Automatically links tasks to projects by fetching IDs first
• Project Management: List all projects from the projects collection
• Task Management: Create tasks in the task collection with mandatory project relationships
• Status Filtering: List tasks and filter by 'Pending' or 'Completed' status
• Environment Driven: Securely managed via .env file for PocketBase authentication
• Easy Testing: Simple health check endpoint and MCP Inspector support

⚡ Quick Start

# 1. Install dependencies
npm install

# 2. Create .env file
echo "PB_AUTH_TOKEN=your_super_admin_token_here" > .env

# 3. Build the project
npm run build

# 4. Start the server
node dist/index.js

Your server is now running at http://localhost:3000!

Test it: Open http://localhost:3000/health in your browser.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• PocketBase running locally at http://127.0.0.1:8090
• A PocketBase Super Admin token.

2. Installation

npm install

3. Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root:

PB_AUTH_TOKEN=your_super_admin_token_here

---

🛠️ Development & Debugging

Build the Project

Compile the TypeScript code into JavaScript:

npm run build

Start the HTTP Server

Run the server locally:

node dist/index.js

The server will start on http://localhost:3000 (or the port specified in your .env file).

You should see output like:

MCP server running on http://localhost:3000
Health check: http://localhost:3000/health
MCP endpoint: http://localhost:3000/mcp

Test the Server

Visit the health check endpoint in your browser:

http://localhost:3000/health

You should see:

{"status":"ok","message":"PMS MCP Server is running"}

Optional Port Configuration

Add to your .env file to change the port:

PORT=3000
PB_AUTH_TOKEN=your_super_admin_token_here

---

📖 Available Tools

• list_projects: Fetch all projects and their IDs.
• create_task: Create a new task (requires task_title, eta, status, and project_id).
• list_tasks: List all tasks with optional status filtering.

🧪 Testing the Tools

You can test the MCP server using the MCP Inspector or by connecting via the HTTP endpoint at http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Using MCP Inspector

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Then connect to: http://localhost:3000/mcp

🌐 Why HTTP Over Stdio?

Advantages:

• No Configuration Files: No need to edit claude_desktop_config.json or other complex configs
• Easy Testing: Simple URL access via browser or tools like Postman
• Remote Ready: Can be deployed to a server and accessed from anywhere
• Multiple Clients: Multiple applications can connect simultaneously
• Better Debugging: Easy to monitor requests and responses with standard HTTP tools

Connecting from MCP Clients:

When using MCP-compatible clients, connect to:

http://localhost:3000/mcp
