Dart AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server

What is Dart MCP Server

Dart is Project Management powered by AI.

dart-mcp-server is the official AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Dart.

Features

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.

Resource templates

The following resources are available

  • 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

Tools

The following tools are available

Task management

  • get_config - Get information about the user's space, including available assignees, dartboards, folders, statuses, tags, priorities, and sizes
  • list_tasks - List tasks with optional filtering by assignee, status, dartboard, priority, due date, and more
  • create_task - Create a new task with title, description, status, priority, size, dates, dartboard, assignees, tags, and parent task
  • get_task - Retrieve an existing task by its ID
  • update_task - Update an existing task's properties
  • delete_task - Move a task to the trash (recoverable)

Document management

  • list_docs - List docs with optional filtering by folder, title, text content, and more
  • create_doc - Create a new doc with title, text content, and folder
  • get_doc - Retrieve an existing doc by its ID
  • update_doc - Update an existing doc's properties
  • delete_doc - Move a doc to the trash (recoverable)

Each tool supports comprehensive input validation and returns structured JSON responses.

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

  1. Install Claude Desktop as needed
  2. Open the claude_desktop_config.json file, which can be located 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

Cline

  1. Install Cline in your IDE as needed
  2. Install the MCP server 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

Any other client

  1. Find the MCP settings file, usually [client]_mcp_settings.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"],
          "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": "docker",
          "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "DART_TOKEN", "mcp/dart"],
          "env": {
            "DART_TOKEN": "dsa_..."
          }
        }
      }
    }

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
