Freedcamp MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Freedcamp task management. It provides tools for creating, updating, listing, and deleting tasks in Freedcamp projects with support for bulk operations.

Features

• Create multiple tasks in a single operation with title, description, priority, due date, and assignee
• Update existing tasks including status changes
• List all tasks in a project
• Delete tasks permanently
• Bulk operations support for all task management operations
• Environment variable support for credentials
• Comprehensive error handling and validation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 17 or higher
• TypeScript
• Freedcamp account with API access
• API Key and Secret from Freedcamp
• Project ID from Freedcamp

Installation (for manual invocation only, not necessary for usage with an IDE or other MCP desktop client)

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd freedcamp-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory with your Freedcamp credentials:

FREEDCAMP_API_KEY=your_api_key
FREEDCAMP_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
FREEDCAMP_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id

Usage

Running the Server

First build the TypeScript code:

npm run build

Then start the server:

npm start

Running the Test Harness

The project includes a comprehensive test harness that verifies all MCP functionality:

npm test

The test harness performs the following checks:

1. Server initialization with proper protocol version
2. Tool listing and capability verification
3. Task creation with various parameters
4. Task updates including status changes
5. Task listing and verification

Example Usage

Creating multiple tasks:

{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "title": "Setup project structure",
      "description": "Initialize the basic project folder structure",
      "priority": 2,
      "due_date": "1735689600"

    {
      "title": "Implement authentication",
      "description": "Add user login and registration functionality",
      "priority": 3,
      "assigned_to_id": "12345"
    }
  ]
}

Updating multiple tasks:

{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "task_id": "67890",
      "status": 1,
      "description": "Updated: Added OAuth integration"

    }
  ]
}

Deleting multiple tasks:

{
  "tasks": [
    {

IDE Integration

The server can be run directly using npx without cloning the repository.

Cursor

1. Open (or create) .cursor/mcp.json in your project root.
2. Add your Freedcamp MCP server configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "freedcamp": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "freedcamp-mcp"
         ],
         "env": {
           "FREEDCAMP_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
           "FREEDCAMP_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret",
           "FREEDCAMP_PROJECT_ID": "your_project_id"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Cursor or reload MCP servers.
