TellDone MCP Server

Connect your TellDone voice notes, tasks, events, and reports to AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and any MCP-compatible client.

TellDone is a voice-first planning app. Dictate your thoughts, and AI automatically creates structured notes, tasks, events, and daily productivity reports.

Voice recording is available on iOS and Apple Watch. Android coming soon. You can also send text through MCP using process_note for the same AI analysis pipeline.

Use promo code MCPBETA26 after signup to get free MCP access (read & write for 30 days, then read-only for a year).

3. Start Using

Ask your AI tool things like:

• "What did I work on today?"
• "Create a task: review quarterly report, high priority, deadline Friday"
• "Find all notes about the marketing strategy"
• "Mark the Figma task as done"
• "Create an event: team standup tomorrow at 10am, remind me 15 min before"
• "Process this meeting summary and extract tasks"
• "What events do I have next week?"
• "Show me my daily report from yesterday"

Tool	Description
get_profile	Returns the authenticated user's profile including display name, email, locale, timezone, subscription plan, and usage statistics (total notes, tasks, events). Use this to check account status or quota.
get_notes	Lists voice notes with optional filters: date_from/date_to (ISO 8601), tag (string), type (task/idea/info/status/meeting/event/reflection), search (text query), limit (default 20, max 100), offset. Returns note metadata without full body — use get_note for details.
get_note	Returns a single note by UUID note_id, including full transcription, AI summary, and all linked child tasks and events. Use when you need complete note content after finding it via get_notes or search.
get_notes_full	Bulk retrieval of notes with embedded children (tasks + events). Same filters as get_notes. Use instead of calling get_note in a loop. Returns larger payloads — set limit appropriately.
get_tasks	Lists tasks with filters: status (todo/done/all, default: todo), tag, priority (low/medium/high), date_from/date_to for deadline range, limit, offset. Returns title, priority, deadline, reminder_at, tags, completion status.
get_events	Lists calendar events with date_from/date_to range filters, status (confirmed/tentative/cancelled), limit, offset. Returns event title, start/end times, location, attendees, and reminders.
get_reports	Returns AI-generated productivity reports. Filter by period (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) and date_from/date_to. Reports summarize completed tasks, patterns, and productivity insights.
get_tags	Returns all user-defined tags sorted by usage frequency (most used first). No parameters. Use to discover available tags before filtering notes or tasks.
search	Hybrid text + semantic search across notes, tasks, and events. Parameter: query (string). Combines keyword matching with vector similarity for relevant results even with different wording. Returns mixed result types with relevance scores.

Write Tools (11)

Tool	Description
process_note	Runs the full AI analysis pipeline on text or audio input — identical to recording a voice note in the mobile app. Accepts text (string) or audio_base64 + audio_format (m4a/wav/mp3). AI extracts structured note + tasks + events + tags. Returns immediately with audio_id; results arrive asynchronously. Poll with get_notes() to retrieve processed output.
create_note	Creates a plain text note without AI analysis. Parameters: title (required), summary, type (task/idea/info/status/meeting/event/reflection), tags (comma-separated). Use when you want to store structured text directly without LLM processing.
create_task	Creates a task with title (required), description, priority (low/medium/high, default: medium), deadline (ISO 8601 date), reminder_at (ISO 8601 datetime), tags (comma-separated). Task is created with status "todo". Syncs to mobile app in real-time.
create_event	Creates a calendar event with title (required), start_at/end_at (ISO 8601 datetime), location, attendees (comma-separated), reminder_minutes (integer), recurrence (rrule string), status (confirmed/tentative).
update_note	Updates note fields by note_id (UUID, required). Optional: title, summary, type, tags, priority, status. Only provided fields are changed; omitted fields remain unchanged.
update_task	Updates task fields by task_id (UUID, required). Optional: title, description, priority, deadline, reminder_at, tags, status (todo/done). Use complete_task as a shortcut for marking done.
update_event	Updates event fields by event_id (UUID, required). Optional: title, start_at, end_at, location, attendees, status (confirmed/tentative/cancelled), reminder_minutes.
complete_task	Marks a task as done by task_id (UUID). Shortcut for update_task with status: "done". Records completion timestamp and source ("mcp").
delete_note	Soft-deletes a note by note_id (UUID). Cascades to all linked child tasks and events — they are also soft-deleted. Reversible from the web app.
delete_task	Soft-deletes a task by task_id (UUID). Does not affect the parent note. Reversible from the web app.
delete_event	Soft-deletes an event by event_id (UUID). Does not affect the parent note. Reversible from the web app.

All write tools sync in real-time to connected mobile and web clients via WebSocket.

Full Pipeline: process_note

The process_note tool runs the same pipeline as recording in the mobile app:

Text or Audio --> STT (if audio) --> LLM Analysis --> Note + Tasks + Events + Tags

Text mode (skip STT):

{"name": "process_note", "arguments": {"text": "Need to buy groceries. Meeting with Katie at 3pm."}}

Audio mode (base64-encoded):

{"name": "process_note", "arguments": {"audio_base64": "...", "audio_format": "m4a"}}

Returns immediately with audio_id. Results arrive via WebSocket or poll with get_notes().
