GTD Brain MCP - GTD Task Manager for AI Agents¶

Priority: HIGH | Category: Productivity / Operations
Transport: Remote Streamable HTTP | Auth: OAuth 2.1 PKCE
Website: https://gtdbrain.com
MCP Registry: com.gtdbrain/gtd-brain
Discovered: July 27, 2026 (chatmcp/mcpso #3315)

What It Does for Operators¶

GTD Brain exposes a full Getting-Things-Done board to any MCP client. Capture, organize, and work through inbox items, next actions, projects, and waiting-for lists - all through natural language. This is the first dedicated GTD-methodology MCP server, filling a gap for operators who use GTD as their core operating system.

Why this matters: Most task-management MCP servers are generic CRUD wrappers around Notion or Todoist. GTD Brain is purpose-built for the GTD workflow with context-appropriate tools (capture goes to inbox, next actions are distinct from projects, waiting-for has its own list).

Tools (12)¶

Tool	Description
`capture`	Dump anything into inbox for later processing
`list_next_actions`	What needs doing now, by context
`list_projects`	All active projects with outcomes
`list_waiting_for`	Delegated items awaiting response
`list_cards`	All cards in a column/view
`search_cards`	Full-text search across the board
`get_card` / `create_card` / `update_card`	CRUD operations
`move_card`	Move between columns (e.g., inbox → next actions)
`archive_card`	Clean up completed items

Operator Use Cases¶

Daily review automation: Agent pulls list_next_actions + list_waiting_for each morning, surfaces the 3 highest-leverage items, and drafts follow-ups for overdue waiting-for items
Project status reporting: Agent pulls list_projects, reads project cards, and generates a weekly stakeholder update automatically
Inbox triage: Operator brain-dumps ideas to capture throughout the day - agent processes the inbox during weekly review, categorizing each item into next action, project, reference, or trash
Delegation tracking: When an operator delegates work, the agent logs it to waiting_for with a reminder date - follows up automatically if no response by deadline
Meeting prep: Agent pulls relevant projects + next actions before a meeting, giving the operator a pre-built agenda

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

Integratable. CorpusIQ could pull operational metrics (revenue, support tickets, deal pipeline) and create GTD tasks from them - e.g., "Follow up on deal #4321 → waiting-for" when a HubSpot deal stalls. The GTD Brain MCP provides the task-execution layer that CorpusIQ's data layer can feed.

Limitations¶

Requires active GTD Brain subscription (free month on signup)
Single-user focused (no team board support mentioned)
OAuth flow requires initial browser login for token grant
GTD-methodology specific - users on other systems (Kanban, Scrum) may find less value
