Hey Things community

I’m building things-fastmcp, a FastMCP-style interface for Things 3, built on earlier community work — full credit in the repo.
The goal is to let you read and write tasks, projects, areas, tags, and more via HTTP or AI workflows.

Check it out: https://github.com/CaseyRo/things-fastmcp

It’s now also working directly inside ChatGPT — you can connect it as a local MCP tool and talk to your Things database naturally (see screenshot below). It’s been stable and fast in testing.

Current caveats / setup

• Auth not yet implemented — use in trusted environments only
• Running on a dedicated Mac mini (stable for 4–6 weeks, polling roughly every 15 minutes via n8n)
• Using ngrok to expose it externally for testing

Quick questions for you

1. What would your ideal auth setup look like?
2. Any features or endpoints you’d love to see next?

Looking forward to your feedback,
— Casey
