A comprehensive MCP-based todo management system, that serves as a central nervous system for Madness Interactive, a multi-project task coordination
FastMCP Todo Server MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on FastMCP Todo Server directly instead of describing what you should do. A comprehensive MCP-based todo management system, that serves as a central nervous system for Madness Interactive, a multi-project task coordination workshop.
Omnispindle is the coordination spine of the Madness Interactive ecosystem — a Python FastMCP server with 38 tools that lets AI agents manage tasks, capture knowledge, coordinate sessions, track epic goals (quests), and navigate the whole workshop from a single, standardized interface. PyPI packaged. Auth0 integrated. Runs anywhere a MCP config lives.
The server ships on npm as @madnessengineering/cartogomancy, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Once FastMCP Todo Server is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
add_todo — Create a task with project, priority, target agent, notes, and metadataquery_todos — MongoDB-style filter queries with projection, limit, offset, since change detection, and graph_root for dependency subgraph traversalupdate_todo — Patch any fields; metadata is deep-merged. Supports $push/$pull on array fields (e.g. metadata.blockers) for dependency linkingdelete_todo — Remove a taskget_todo — Fetch a single task by IDcomplete_todo — Stage for review with optional comment; writes to audit log. Sets status to review, not completedlist_todos_by_status — Filter by status: pending initial in_progress blocked review completedsearch_todos — Tokenized multi-word fuzzy text searchlist_project_todos — Recent tasks for a specific projectadd_lesson — Capture a lesson with language, topic, and tagsget_lesson — Fetch by IDupdate_lesson — Patch lesson content or metadataYou will need 7 environment variables: OMNISPINDLE_MODE, OMNISPINDLE_TOOL_LOADOUT, MCP_USER_EMAIL, MADNESS_AUTH_TOKEN, AUTH0_TOKEN, MADNESS_API_URL, MQTT_HOST. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. FastMCP Todo Server's toolset — add_todo, query_todos, update_todo and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by DanEdens; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
Issue tracking at the speed of conversation — Linear's official hosted server with OAuth and zero install.
Search and read your Drive — Docs, Sheets and files become context your assistant can actually use.
Your assistant inside the workspace — read channels, search history, post messages and tame the noise.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Stop letting your assistant hallucinate n8n node parameters — this server hands it the real schemas, templates and validation.
