What is Dart MCP Server

Dart MCP Server is an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Dart, enhancing project management through AI. It allows integration with various AI assistants to perform tasks seamlessly within the Dart project management ecosystem.

Use cases

This server facilitates the creation and management of tasks and documents within Dart. Users can generate tasks with specific attributes, create documents, and get summaries of tasks, streamlining project management processes and enhancing productivity.

How to use

To set up the Dart MCP Server, users can run it using npx or Docker. The setup process involves copying an authentication token from the Dart profile and configuring it in the MCP settings file for the client application, ensuring the correct command and environment variables are set.

Key features

Key features of Dart MCP Server include various prompts for creating tasks and documents, resource templates for configuration and detailed information retrieval, and an array of management tools for tasks and documents with structured responses and validation.

Where to use

The Dart MCP Server can be utilized within various AI clients compatible with the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf, allowing users to enhance their project management workflows in different environments.

Dart is Project Management powered by AI.

Task management

• get_config - Get information about the user’s space, including available assignees, dartboards, folders, statuses, tags, priorities, and sizes
• list_tasks - List tasks with optional filtering by assignee, status, dartboard, priority, due date, and more
• create_task - Create a new task with title, description, status, priority, size, dates, dartboard, assignees, tags, and parent task
• get_task - Retrieve an existing task by its ID
• update_task - Update an existing task’s properties
• delete_task - Move a task to the trash (recoverable)

Setup

The easiest way to run the MCP server is with npx, but a Docker setup is also available.

Find the MCP settings file for the client

Claude Desktop

1. Install Claude Desktop as needed
2. Open the config file by opening the Claude Desktop app, going into its Settings, opening the ‘Developer’ tab, and clicking the ‘Edit Config’ button
3. Follow the ‘Set up the MCP server’ steps below

Claude Code

1. Install Claude Code as needed

2. Copy your authentication token from your Dart profile

3. Run the following command, being sure to replace dsa... with your actual Dart token

   claude mcp add-json dart '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","dart-mcp-server"],"env":{"DART_TOKEN":"dsa_..."}}'
   

Cursor

1. Install Cursor as needed
2. Open the config file by opening Cursor, going into ‘Cursor Settings’ (not the normal VSCode IDE settings), opening the ‘MCP’ tab, and clicking the ‘Add new global MCP server’ button
3. Follow the ‘Set up the MCP server’ steps below

Cline

1. Install Cline in your IDE as needed
2. Open the config file by opening your IDE, opening the Cline sidebar, clicking the ‘MCP Servers’ icon button that is second from left at the top, opening the ‘Installed’ tab, and clicking the ‘Configure MCP Servers’ button
3. Follow the ‘Set up the MCP server’ steps below

Windsurf

1. Install Windsurf as needed
2. Open the config file by opening Windsurf, going into ‘Windsurf Settings’ (not the normal VSCode IDE settings), opening the ‘Cascade’ tab, and clicking the ‘View raw config’ button in the ‘Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers’ section
3. Follow the ‘Set up the MCP server’ steps below

Any other client

1. Find the MCP settings file, usually something like [client]_mcp_config.json
2. Follow the ‘Set up the MCP server’ steps below

Set up the MCP server

1. Install npx, which comes bundled with Node, as needed

2. Copy your authentication token from your Dart profile

3. Add the following to your MCP setup, being sure to replace dsa... with your actual Dart token

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "dart": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "-y",
           "dart-mcp-server"
         ],
         "env": {
           "DART_TOKEN": "dsa_..."
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

Variant: setup with Docker

If the npx setup above does not work well, we also provide a Docker setup. Follow the instructions above to find the MCP settings file

1. Install Docker as needed

2. Build the Docker container with docker build -t mcp/dart .

3. Copy your authentication token from your Dart profile

4. Add the following to your MCP setup, being sure to replace dsa... with your actual Dart token

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "dart": {
         "command": "bash",
         "args": [
           "-c",
           "docker rm -f dart-mcp >/dev/null 2>&1 || true; docker run -i --rm --name dart-mcp -e DART_TOKEN mcp/dart"
         ],
         "env": {
           "DART_TOKEN": "dsa_..."
         }
       }
     }
