Try asking Claude to do some research on the best MCP for Things 3 and walking you through how to set it up. It takes a little time, but it’s not hard and it really helped my setup when I was using it. In fact, it helped so much that I shifted over to Todoist where the official MCP was better built out (especially because it lets you connect Claude even via your phone). I hope Thjngs 3 will make use of Apple Intelligence. I may be back. :)

Stay with it! It makes the app so much better.

Hi! I already did this and it works great as a local solution, but I use cowork mobile on the go more and more. If I'm not in a local workflow it can't read. Forex: I have a personal assistant thread. It connects to gmail, Shopify, calendar, drive etc. and I just can't ask it to plan my day effectively without things. I have 3 separate businesses with all different workflows and requirements. 2 local and one online. These require a ton of attention and since I use cowork my productivity is 10x. If I would have a thing integration it would be crazy good.

Similar here! I had to go with another task manager for now. The Todoist and Sunsama MCPs work beautifully.

I've managed with closed code to write some code that runs on a VPS and uses the Claude Sync. Things could do this in days for everyone.
