Smart lists that your AI can actually use. Manage lists via MCP, CLI, or REST API.
Smart lists that your AI can actually use. Manage lists via MCP, CLI, or REST API. The lystbot mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 14 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
list_lists — Get all your listsget_list — Get a specific list with itemscreate_list — Create a new listdelete_list — Delete a listadd_items — Add one or more items to a listcheck_item — Check off an itemuncheck_item — Uncheck an itemremove_item — Remove an item from a listclear_checked — Remove all checked (completed) items from a listshare_list — Generate a share code for a listjoin_list — Join a shared list via codelist_categories — List categories for a listInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at lystbot on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need one environment variable: YOUR_API_KEY. 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.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Lystbot's toolset — list_lists, get_list, create_list and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by TourAround; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
