MCP ToDo Server
A production-ready Model Context Protocol server for managing tasks and todos with support for both file-based and database storage backends. It enables users to perform bulk operations, track priorities, and access productivity analytics through a structured management system.
README
MCP ToDo Server
Production-ready Model Context Protocol server for task and todo management with dual storage backends, error handling, and modern Python tooling.
Features
- Dual Storage: File-based JSON or database (SQLite/PostgreSQL)
- Todo Management: Standalone todos and structured tasks with priorities/due dates
- Bulk Operations: Efficient multi-item management and analytics
- Security: Input validation, error handling, containerization
- Modern Tooling: uv package manager, comprehensive testing, structured logging
Architecture
MCP Server → Business Logic → Storage (File/Database) → Infrastructure
Quick Start
# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/AnoRebel/mcp-todo-server.git
cd mcp-todo-server
uv sync # or pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run with file storage (default)
uv run python server.py
# Run with database storage
export MCP_STORAGE_TYPE=database
export MCP_DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///todos.db
uv run python server.py
# Docker
docker-compose up -d
# Development
make test && make format
Configuration
Environment variables:
MCP_STORAGE_TYPE:fileordatabase(default: file)MCP_DATABASE_URL: Database connection stringMCP_LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERRORMCP_MAX_TASKS: Maximum tasks (default: 1000)MCP_MAX_TODOS: Maximum todos (default: 1000)
Usage
Basic Operations
# Standalone todos
add_todo("Buy groceries")
list_todos(status="open")
complete_todo("todo-id")
# Structured tasks
create_task(name="Project", priority="high", due_date="2024-12-31")
add_task_todo("task-id", "Subtask description")
bulk_task_operation(operation="complete", filters={"priority": "low"})
# Analytics
get_productivity_stats()
Error Handling
- Circuit breaker pattern for failure prevention
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Categorized errors with user-friendly messages
- Comprehensive logging and monitoring
Testing
make test # All tests with coverage
pytest tests/ -v # Verbose test output
Coverage includes storage backends, CRUD operations, error handling, and data models.
Security & Performance
- Input validation and sanitization
- Container security (non-root execution)
- Database connection pooling and atomic operations
- Configurable limits and graceful degradation
- Structured logging for observability
