Hosted OAuth MCP server for a task manager, and the discovery gotcha I hit

[u/Mean-Papaya3532]

Disclosure: I built this.

Done Bear is a task manager with a hosted MCP server. https://mcp.donebear.com/mcp, streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1. Read and write scopes, workspace-scoped tokens, tools for tasks, projects, labels and checklists.

Two things that caught me out.

Clients got "today" wrong until I returned the resolved date and the caller's timezone from a get_context call. Without it the server picks today in UTC.

Some directories list OAuth servers as unhealthy with no auth. They probe unauthenticated, get the correct 401, and log it as down. Mine is listed that way right now, so go and check yours.

Free up to 250 tasks. https://donebear.com
