Things 3 MCP server for macOS with SQLite reads, official things:/// URL writes, and semantic planning tools for AI agen
SupaThings MCP is a Things 3 MCP server for macOS.
It was built to solve a practical gap: AI agents can write to Things via things:///, but they cannot reliably understand your real project structure from URL commands alone.
SupaThings combines SQLite-based reads with official URL-scheme writes, so agents can both understand and act safely.
npx -y supathings-mcp
npm install -g supathings-mcp
Alias also available:
things-mcp
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js
{
"mcpServers": {
"supathings": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "supathings-mcp"]
}
}
}
Codex:
codex mcp add supathings -- npx -y supathings-mcp
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport stdio supathings -- npx -y supathings-mcp
Gemini CLI:
gemini mcp add -s user supathings npx -y supathings-mcp
MCP servers expose tools over a standard protocol so AI clients can call them programmatically.
In Things, there are two realities:
things:/// URL scheme is excellent for creating/updating/navigating items.SupaThings was built to bridge that split.
Technical approach:
things:/// URL actions for safe interoperability.Why this is useful in practice:
Current release: 0.4.0
Shipped scope today:
37 MCP toolsthings:/// URL schemeCurrent boundaries:
Three-layer model:
things:/// layer for writes, updates, moves, and navigationshow-quick-entry, log-completed, empty-trash)This split is deliberate: read from local truth, write through supported Things APIs.
SupaThings is opinionated here: Things should be treated like Things.
Headings are modeled as semantic groupings (categories, work blocks, deliverables), not as a Jira-style workflow board by default.
That changes:
Use when the project does not exist yet:
suggest-headingscreate-project-with-headingsget-projects or get-project-structureUse when the project already exists but needs structure:
get-headings or suggest-headingsvalidate-headingsWhy: creating headings is most reliable during brand-new project creation.

| Optional AppleScript | show-quick-entry, log-completed, empty-trash |
If Apple Events are unavailable, these fail gracefully.
SupaThings is designed to reduce context burn in AI workflows.
