Pndr

Personal productivity app with Ideas/Tasks, Journal, Habits, Package tracking, Lists, and more via MCP

Pndr is your personal productivity command center, now accessible to AI agents via MCP (Model Context Protocol).

What You Can Do

With Pndr's MCP integration, AI assistants like Claude can:

• Manage your tasks - Add, edit, complete, and organize ideas with tags and priorities
• Track your habits - Create daily habits and mark them complete automatically
• Journal - Record thoughts and retrieve them with fuzzy search
• Track packages - Monitor deliveries with tracking numbers and carriers
• Manage lists - Create checklists, shopping lists, or any collection of items
• Get insights - View today's focus items, kanban boards, accomplishments, and patterns

All of this happens in your own private Pndr account - the AI just provides a natural language interface to your data.

How It Works

Pndr exposes your personal productivity data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants to interact with your tasks, habits, and journal on your behalf.

Example conversations:

• "Add a task to call mom tomorrow with high priority"
• "What's on my plate today?"
• "Mark my exercise habit as complete"
• "Show me my accomplishments this week"
• "Add a journal entry about today's meeting"

The AI uses Pndr's MCP tools behind the scenes to read and write your data securely.

Who Is This For?

This integration is perfect if you:

• Use an AI assistant (Claude, OpenClaw, etc.) and want it to manage your tasks
• Want natural language access to your productivity data
• Like the idea of saying "add this to my todo list" instead of opening an app
• Already use Pndr and want to access it through AI conversations

Prerequisites

• A Pndr account (sign up at https://pndr.io)
• An AI assistant that supports MCP (like Claude Desktop or OpenClaw)
• For manual setup: mcporter CLI tool

Setup

For OpenClaw Users

OpenClaw can set this up automatically! Just ask your assistant:

"Connect to my Pndr account"

Then provide your Pndr OAuth credentials when prompted.

Manual Setup

1. Get Pndr API credentials:

   • Log in to https://pndr.io
   • Go to Settings → API → Create OAuth Client
   • Give it a name (e.g., "My AI Assistant")
   • Copy your client_id and client_secret

2. Get an access token:

   bash

   curl -X POST https://pndr.io/oauth/token \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "grant_type": "client_credentials",
       "client_id": "pndr_client_YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
       "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
     }'
   

   This returns a JSON response with an access_token. Copy it.

3. Add to your MCP client config:

   For mcporter (config/mcporter.json):

   json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "pndr": {
         "baseUrl": "https://pndr.io/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   For Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

   json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "pndr": {
         "url": "https://pndr.io/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Test the connection:

   bash

   mcporter list pndr --schema
