TickTick MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides integration with TickTick task management service.

Features

• List tasks and projects with enhanced display (human-readable priorities)
• Create, update, and delete tasks
• Mark tasks as completed
• Get specific task details
• Timezone handling with manual D+1 adjustment for accurate due date calculations
• Get overdue tasks with configurable timezone offset
• Get today's tasks with proper timezone compensation
• OAuth and username/password authentication support
• Full TypeScript support with proper error handling

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

1. Create environment configuration:

cp .env.example .env

1. Configure authentication in .env:

Option A: OAuth (Recommended)

TICKTICK_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_oauth_access_token
TICKTICK_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token
TICKTICK_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
TICKTICK_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Option B: Username/Password

TICKTICK_USERNAME=your_ticktick_username
TICKTICK_PASSWORD=your_ticktick_password

For OAuth setup, see [OAUTHSETUP.md](./OAUTHSETUP.md) or use the helper:

node oauth-helper.js

1. Build the project:

npm run build

Usage

Development

npm run dev

Production

npm start

Available Tools

• get_tasks - Get all tasks or tasks from a specific project (with enhanced display)
• get_overdue_tasks - Get overdue tasks with timezone compensation (configurable offset, defaults to UTC+8 - adjust for your timezone)
• get_todays_tasks - Get tasks due today with D+1 timezone adjustment
• get_projects - Get all projects from TickTick
• create_task - Create a new task with priority, tags, due dates
• update_task - Update an existing task
• delete_task - Delete a task
• complete_task - Mark a task as completed
• get_task - Get a specific task by ID

Timezone Handling

This server includes manual timezone workarounds to handle TickTick's timezone inconsistencies:

• D+1 Adjustment: Due dates are automatically adjusted by adding 1 day to compensate for timezone differences
• Configurable Offset: get_overdue_tasks accepts a timezoneOffsetHours parameter
• Default: 8 (UTC+8) - Change this for your timezone!
• Examples:
• timezoneOffsetHours: -5 for EST (UTC-5)
• timezoneOffsetHours: 0 for UTC
• timezoneOffsetHours: 9 for JST (UTC+9)
• timezoneOffsetHours: 1 for CET (UTC+1)
• All-day vs Timed Tasks: Different handling for all-day tasks vs specific time tasks
• Enhanced Display: Tasks include human-readable priority text (None, Low, Medium, High)

Important: The default timezone offset is set to UTC+8. Make sure to specify your correct timezone offset when calling get_overdue_tasks to get accurate results for your location.
