### Description (declared)

# activecollab-mcp

A Python MCP server that exposes an ActiveCollab workspace (projects, tasks,
comments, attachments, time tracking) to MCP-compatible LLM clients such as
Cursor and Claude Desktop. Ships as an installable package with a daemon CLI
and version management via `pipx`.

> **Heads up**: this version supersedes the previous Node.js implementation,
> which has been moved to `archive/js/` for reference.

## Features

- **One-line installer** — `pipx install activecollab-mcp && activecollab-mcp setup`, done. `setup` covers login, the background service, registration with installed AI clients (Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Pi, OMP, Gemini CLI, Cursor, opencode), and auto-updates.
- **Interactive `auth login`** — exchanges email + password for an API token via [`/issue-token`](https://developers.activecollab.com/api-documentation/v1/authentication.html) and stores it at `~/.activecollab-mcp/credentials.json` (mode 0600). No env vars required for the common case.
- **Streamable HTTP transport** on `127.0.0.1:8787/mcp` (single, modern MCP transport).
- **Daemon CLI** — `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `status`, `logs`, `config`, `version`.
- **Boot-persistent service** (macOS) — `activecollab-mcp service install` registers a `launchd` LaunchAgent with `RunAtLoad` + `KeepAlive` so the server survives reboots and auto-restarts on crash.
- **Self-update** — `activecollab-mcp update` installs the latest release from PyPI. `--auto` registers a cron entry for daily auto-updates. The running server is **automatically bounced** after a successful update so it picks up the new code.
- **Auto port fallback** — if 8787 is busy, the daemon scans the next 20 ports and binds to the first free one. The actual bound port is written to `~/.activecollab-mcp/server.port` and surfaced by `status`.
- **Read tools** — projects, users, tasks, comments, attachments, time records, name resolution.
- **Write tools** (toggle via env) — create/update/complete/reopen/delete tasks, post comments, …
