Tracker Server

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to connect to your local tracker-server. It exposes endpoints like checking today's schedule, retrieving statistics, registering tasks, and managing timers directly to LLM clients (like Claude Desktop or Cursor).

Prerequisites

• A running instance of tracker-server (usually on http://localhost:3000).
• Python 3.11+ (if running locally) or Docker.

🚀 Running via Docker (Recommended)

When you deploy your MCP agent, you can hook it directly to the Docker image provided from the GitHub Container Registry.

Because tracker-server is running on your host machine locally, Docker needs to know how to reach it. The image defaults to http://host.docker.internal:3000 assuming you are on Mac/Windows or using Docker Desktop.

For Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tracker-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "-e",
        "TRACKER_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:3000",
        "ghcr.io/makegorka/tracker-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Notice the -i flag. Because MCP communicates over stdin/stdout (stdio), you must run the docker container interactively, but without a TTY (-t).

🛠 Running Locally

If you are developing or simply prefer to run from source instead of Docker.

1. Setup the Virtual Environment:

   cd tracker-mcp
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Run the MCP Server manually:

   # Make sure your tracker server is running!
   python server.py
   

   Note: This will just block your terminal waiting for stdio MCP JSON RPC commands. This is expected.

3. Configure Claude Desktop (Local Mode):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "tracker-mcp": {
         "command": "/absolute/path/to/tracker-mcp/venv/bin/python",
         "args": [
           "/absolute/path/to/tracker-mcp/server.py"
         ],
         "env": {
           "TRACKER_API_URL": "http://localhost:3000"
         }
       }
     }
   }
