OmniFocus MCP

✔️ Turn prompts into projects.

Feature-complete Model Context Protocol server for OmniFocus. Full read/write access to tasks, projects, folders, tags, and perspectives — 51 tools, 2 resources, and 3 prompts.

Uses Omni Automation (OmniJS) under the hood, executing scripts via JXA and osascript. This is why macOS is required.

“Move all tasks tagged ‘waiting’ in the ‘Website Redesign’ project to a new ‘Blocked’ project.”

“Run my weekly review — go through stale projects, process inbox, and summarize what needs attention.”

“How many tasks do I have tagged ‘errand’? List the ones that are available.”
