Prompts

The following prompts are available

• create-task - Create a new task in Dart with title, description, status, priority, and assignee
• create-doc - Create a new document in Dart with title, text content, and folder
• summarize-tasks - Get a summary of tasks with optional filtering by status and assignee

These prompts make it easy for AI assistants to perform common actions in Dart without needing to understand the underlying API details.

• dart-config: - Configuration information about the user's space
• dart-task:///{taskId} - Detailed information about specific tasks
• dart-doc:///{docId} - Detailed information about specific docs

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 dart -e DART_TOKEN=dsa_... -- npx -y dart-mcp-server@latest
   

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

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@latest"],
         "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_..."
         }
       }
     }
