Donetick

April 30, 2026 · View on GitHub

Companion plugin for donetick-mcp. Bundles the MCP server and adds skills for managing chores conversationally against a self-hosted Donetick instance.

What's inside

  • .mcp.json — auto-launches uvx donetick-mcp and wires in credentials from environment.
  • Skills:
    • onboard — one-time setup: verify uvx, env vars, smoke-test.
    • daily-brief — overdue / today / this week summary.
    • list-chores — flexible filtered listing.
    • create-chore — natural-language → create_chore.
    • complete-chore — fuzzy-match + complete / skip / archive / reschedule.
    • manage-labels — full label CRUD + bulk relabel.

Setup

  1. Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  2. Export credentials in your shell profile: 
    export DONETICK_BASE_URL="https://your-donetick-instance.example.com"
export DONETICK_USERNAME="your_username"
export DONETICK_PASSWORD="your_password"
  3. Install the plugin from Daniel's marketplace, then restart Claude Code so the MCP picks up the env.
  4. Run /onboard (or just ask "is donetick connected?") to verify.

Underlying MCP

All chore operations go through 27 tools exposed by donetick-mcp — chores, subtasks, labels, timers, history. See the MCP repo for the full tool list.
