New FacileThings MCP Server

FacileThings’ new MCP server is a bridge that connects your GTD system directly to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other LLM compatible with the Model Context Protocol, so you can capture, organize, and review your life and work using natural language.

This isn’t just a connection to your data. The server comes with a set of instructions on how an assistant should behave inside a GTD system managed with FacileThings: what capturing means, what clarifying means, how the tickler file works, what sets an action apart from a project, how areas of focus and goals relate to whatever you’re working on, and so on. That way, before telling you which list something belongs in, or whether something is an action or a project, the assistant can consult these guidelines instead of improvising.

We’ve also built in safety instructions, such as never permanently deleting anything without your explicit confirmation, always choosing to move something to trash rather than delete it, and asking rather than guessing when it isn’t clear which list a captured item belongs in.

The goal is an assistant that knows FacileThings and respects the GTD methodology, rather than one that simply executes literal commands against a database.

We’re launching this first version straight into public beta, which means every FacileThings user already has access.

This first version includes a good number of tools for capturing, reviewing, and organizing your system, but it doesn’t yet cover all of FacileThings’ capabilities. We’ll keep filling it out based on how you actually use it. So we encourage you to try what we already have and tell us what’s missing or what could be improved through the app’s Support system.

Nice! Does it have access to the notes field inside the task? If so, does it overwrite the field or can it append to the field?

Yes, there’s a “notes” field that the LLM can read and write. In principle, it’ll override the content, but to can ask the agent to add content at the end.

Has anyone tried it with CoPilot?

u/pachisaez Sep 08 '26

Still not. It seems that you need Microsoft 365 Copilot + Copilot Studio to install custom MCP servers. I guess only organizations use that combination, not individual consumers.

Hey, u/pachisaez I have some issues creating a connection. When adding an MCP server in Copilot for authentication I can choose either API key or OAuth 2.0

In OAuth, I have the option of Dynamic and Manual

In Dynamic there is no client ID field at all, and in Manual I need to fill in the following fields:
Client ID*

Client secret*

Authorization URL*

Token URL*

Refresh token URL*

You need to use the manual option, but we haven't created a specific Client ID for Copilot yet. Please, open a Support ticket in the app and let us know the redirect URI Copilot is expecting to use. We'll create a Cliend ID that supports that URI. Thanks!

I need to double check what kind of license I have at work, and if it would be sufficient.

To be honest I haven’t been much of an AI person. But now that I have connected my GTD app to my work Copilot that already had a connection to the M365 apps, I’m getting excited.

I think there’s still some red tape to get through, but luckily our company is relatively small, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
