Sunsama MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive task management capabilities through the Sunsama API. This server enables AI assistants to access Sunsama tasks, create new tasks, mark tasks complete, and manage your productivity workflow.

Features

Task Management

• Create Tasks - Create new tasks with notes, time estimates, due dates, and stream assignments
• Read Tasks - Get tasks by day with completion filtering, access backlog tasks, retrieve archived task history
• Update Tasks - Mark tasks as complete with custom timestamps, reschedule tasks or move to backlog
• Delete Tasks - Permanently remove tasks from your workspace

User & Stream Operations

• User Information - Access user profile, timezone, and group details
• Stream Management - Get streams/channels for project organization
• Dual Transport - Support for both stdio and HTTP stream MCP transports

Installation

Prerequisites

• Bun runtime (for development)
• Sunsama account with API access

Using NPX (Recommended)

No installation required! Use directly with:

npx mcp-sunsama

Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/robertn702/mcp-sunsama.git
cd mcp-sunsama

2. Install dependencies:

bun install

3. Set up your environment variables:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your Sunsama credentials

Environment variables:

• SUNSAMA_EMAIL - Your Sunsama account email (required for stdio transport)
• SUNSAMA_PASSWORD - Your Sunsama account password (required for stdio transport)
• SUNSAMA_SESSION_TOKEN - Alternative session token authentication (optional)
• PORT - Server port for HTTP transport (default: 3002)
• MCP_TRANSPORT - Transport type: stdio or httpStream (default: stdio)

Usage

Running the Server

Stdio Transport (default):

bun run src/main.ts

HTTP Stream Transport:

MCP_TRANSPORT=httpStream PORT=3002 bun run src/main.ts

        "SUNSAMA_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

• update-task-due-date - Update the due date for tasks (set or clear due dates)
• update-task-text - Update the text/title of tasks
• update-task-stream - Update the stream/channel assignment for tasks
• update-task-snooze-date - Reschedule tasks to different dates
• update-task-backlog - Move tasks to the backlog
• delete-task - Delete tasks permanently

User & Stream Operations

Development

Running in Development

bun run dev

Testing with MCP Inspector

bun run inspect

Then connect the MCP Inspector to test the tools interactively.

Build and Type Checking

bun run build              # Compile TypeScript to dist/
bun run typecheck          # Run TypeScript type checking
bun run typecheck:watch    # Watch mode type checking

Code Architecture

The server is organized with a modular, resource-based architecture:

src/
├── tools/
│   ├── shared.ts          # Common utilities and patterns
│   ├── user-tools.ts      # User operations (get-user)
│   ├── task-tools.ts      # Task operations (14 tools)
│   ├── stream-tools.ts    # Stream operations (get-streams)
│   └── index.ts           # Export all tools
├── resources/
│   └── index.ts           # API documentation resource
├── auth/                  # Authentication strategies
├── config/                # Environment configuration
├── utils/                 # Utilities (filtering, trimming, etc.)
└── main.ts                # Server setup (47 lines vs 1162 before refactoring)

Key Features:

• Type Safety: Full TypeScript typing with Zod schema validation
• Parameter Destructuring: Clean, explicit function signatures
• Shared Utilities: Common patterns extracted to reduce duplication
• Error Handling: Standardized error handling across all tools
• Response Optimization: Task filtering and trimming for large datasets

Authentication

Stdio Transport: Requires SUNSAMA_EMAIL and SUNSAMA_PASSWORD environment variables.

HTTP Transport: The Sunsama credentials are passed in the HTTP request. No environment variables needed.
