Before you install OmniFocus MCP

What it can access

An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.
Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to run shell commands.

Before you install

Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
Keep tool-call approval on, and run it in a container if you can.
Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.

Tools OmniFocus MCP exposes (12)

Listed by the server itself during our scan of commit f6988cd.

dump_database
Gets the current state of your OmniFocus database
add_omnifocus_task
Create a NEW task. If a matching task already exists (e.g. in the Inbox), do NOT create a duplicate — MOVE it with edit_item + newProjectName. When unsure, check with query_omnifocus first.
add_project
Add a new project to OmniFocus
remove_item
Remove a task or project from OmniFocus
edit_item
Edit an existing task or project. Also how you MOVE a task: set newProjectName (or "" / "inbox"). Prefer moving an existing task over re-creating it — never make duplicates.
batch_add_items
Add multiple tasks or projects to OmniFocus in a single operation
batch_remove_items
Remove multiple tasks or projects from OmniFocus in a single operation
query_omnifocus
Query tasks, projects, or folders with filters (project, folder, tags, status, dates). Much faster and lighter than dump_database for targeted lookups.
list_perspectives
List built-in and custom perspectives (custom is a Pro feature)
get_perspective_view
Get the items visible in a named OmniFocus perspective
list_tags
List all tags with their hierarchy
create_tag
Create a new tag in OmniFocus, optionally nested under an existing parent tag
