What is the Ticktick MCP server?

Connect Ticktick to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TickTick integration. The ticktick mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TickTick task management integration. This server allows AI assistants like Claude to interact with your TickTick account to manage tasks and projects.

  • OAuth 2.0 Authentication — - Secure authentication flow with token management
  • Project Management — - List, create, update, and delete projects
  • Task Management — - Full CRUD operations for tasks including:
  • Create tasks with titles, descriptions, priorities, and due dates
  • Set reminders and recurrence rules
  • Add subtasks/checklists

Installation

The server ships on npm as ticktick-mcp, 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.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Authentication — The Authentication tool exposed by this server
  • User — The User tool exposed by this server
  • Projects — The Projects tool exposed by this server
  • Tasks — The Tasks tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: TICKTICK_CLIENT_ID, TICKTICK_CLIENT_SECRET, TICKTICK_REDIRECT_URI, TICKTICK_REGION. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

You'll need TickTick API credentials: 1. Go to TickTick Developer Portal 2. Create a new application 3. Note your Client ID and Client Secret 4. Set the redirect URI to http://localhost:8080/callback (or your preferred callback URL)

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Plenty of planning and project tracking 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. Ticktick's toolset — Authentication, User, Projects and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jordyvd; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
