OmniFocus

steveardis/omnifocus-mcp

Gives Claude full access to OmniFocus through Omni Automation's JavaScript API instead of the more limited AppleScript dictionary. Every operation runs OmniJS snippets inside OmniFocus via osascript, so you get recurrence rules, planned dates, review intervals, and proper stable IDs for addressing. Ships with 22 tools covering tasks, projects, folders, and tags: create, edit, complete, drop, delete, move. All arguments are JSON serialized to avoid the injection issues that plague string interpolation approaches. The resolve_name tool returns all candidates with paths rather than silently picking one, forcing explicit disambiguation. Requires OmniFocus running locally on macOS. If you're building workflows that need reliable two way sync with OmniFocus task data, this is the complete option.

Readme

omnifocus-mcp

An MCP server for OmniFocus that exposes the full Omni Automation JavaScript API to LLM callers.

macOS only. Requires OmniFocus running on the same machine. The entire implementation runs OmniJS snippets inside OmniFocus via osascript -l JavaScript — no AppleScript string generation, no scripting dictionary limitations.

Prerequisites

macOS (Omni Automation is macOS-only; the server will not start on other platforms)
OmniFocus installed and running
Node.js ≥ 20

Install

The package is published to npm as @scardis/omnifocus-mcp.

Via npx (no install required)

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnifocus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scardis/omnifocus-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

From source

git clone https://github.com/steveardis/omnifocus-mcp.git
cd omnifocus-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then configure your MCP client:
