ModusOp MCP Server

MCP server for ModusOp — gives AI assistants access to your client context, tasks, time tracking, and retainer budgets.

Tools

Tool	Description
search_projects	Search projects by name
search_clients	Search clients by name
get_client_context	Get project, client, and retainer info
get_tasks	List tasks for a project (filter by status)
create_task	Create a new task
start_timer	Start a timer on a task
stop_timer	Stop the running timer
get_retainer_status	Check retainer hours used/remaining

Required Token Scopes

When you create an API token in ModusOp → Settings → API Tokens, grant these scopes:

• read — needed for search_projects, search_clients, get_client_context, get_tasks, get_retainer_status, and the current-timer check used by stop_timer.
• write — needed for create_task, start_timer, and stop_timer.

A token missing the required scope returns HTTP 403 with Insufficient permissions for this action.. Most setups want both scopes.
