Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 7c9bde2cfd docs(phase6): documentation site, landing page and open-source scaffolding
Material for MkDocs under docs/, covering self-hosting, the Rune, the
quick-add and filter languages, importing from Todoist, CalDAV,
mail-to-task, MCP, the AI layer and the API. The version is pinned: the
maintainers have announced that MkDocs 2.0 removes the plugin system
with no migration path, and an unpinned install would break this build
on the day it lands.

The landing page shows the quick-add parser as actual text rather than a
screenshot of it — that is the thing worth showing, and it reads better
as the real thing. It shares the app's design tokens, so the site and
what it describes look like one project.

MIT licence, contributing guide, security policy and issue templates.
Pages deployment is behind workflow_dispatch, so the docs build on every
push but nothing is published until the owner chooses to.

Claude (MCP)

verdande has a built-in Model Context Protocol server, so you can add it to Claude as a connector and work your task list in conversation.

"What's on my plate this week?"

"Add a task to call the accountant on Friday, priority 1, in Firma."

"What did I not get to that was due last week?"

Connecting it

Make a token. Settings → API tokens → New token. It is shown once.

Add the connector. In Claude, add a custom connector with:

  • URL: https://todo.example.dk/api/v1/mcp
  • Authentication: Bearer token, using the token you just made

!!! warning "It has to be reachable from the internet" Claude connects from Anthropic's side, not from your browser. An instance only reachable on your LAN or over a VPN cannot be used this way.

What Claude can do

Tool What it does
list_projects List your projects.
search_tasks Find tasks — by text, or with the filter language.
create_task Create one, from natural language or explicit fields.
update_task Change a title, priority, date or project.
complete_task Tick one off.
add_comment Comment on a task.

create_task prefers natural language, so "add betal moms i morgen kl 10 p1 #Firma" goes through the same parser the app uses — dates, priorities, projects, labels and recurrence in either language.

What it can reach

Exactly what you can reach, and nothing more. A token is a person, and a person's permissions are already decided: shared projects you are a member of, yes; somebody else's private projects, no. There is no separate service identity and no scope to configure.

What it cannot do

Delete projects, manage members, change settings or read another account. The tools are the six above; there is no general escape hatch.

!!! note "Revoking it" Settings → API tokens, delete the token. The connector stops working immediately, and nothing else about your account is affected.
