MCP server

Mindwtr can expose a Model Context Protocol server for advanced users who want external tools to read or operate on their task system through a controlled interface.

When to use this

Use MCP if you already use an MCP-compatible client and want structured access to Mindwtr data for automation, search, or guided task operations.

Skip it if you only need normal task capture, sync, or review.

What MCP can help with

  • Search tasks, projects, and notes
  • Create or update tasks through a controlled tool surface
  • Inspect GTD lists from an external workspace
  • Build personal automations around your Mindwtr data

Safety model

MCP access is powerful. Treat any connected client as something that can act on your task system.

Connect deliberately

Only connect clients you trust, and review the exact tools exposed by your current Mindwtr build.

Setup outline

  1. Enable the MCP server in the supported Mindwtr app or companion process.
  2. Copy the generated command or connection details.
  3. Add that configuration to your MCP-compatible client.
  4. Start with read-only or low-risk operations.
  5. Confirm changes inside Mindwtr before relying on automation.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the Mindwtr app or server process is running.
  • Confirm the client uses the correct command, port, or transport.
  • Restart the client after changing MCP configuration.
  • Check logs for permission or connection errors.

Mindwtr is free, open source, and local-first.
