Superlist MCP

Overview

Superlist MCP is a hosted remote MCP server for connecting MCP-compatible AI assistants to a user's Superlist account. The official help-center article describes it as a secure bridge between Superlist and AI tools that support MCP. Once connected, users can ask an assistant to read and update lists and tasks in everyday language.

Installation

There is no local package to install. Add the hosted Superlist MCP URL as a remote/custom connector in an MCP-compatible client:

https://app.superlist.com/mcp

For Claude, Superlist documents the path Settings -> Connectors -> Customize -> Add Connector, then paste the URL, click Connect, sign in to Superlist, approve permissions, and authorize in the browser window.

For ChatGPT Web, Superlist documents enabling Developer Mode under Settings -> Apps -> Advanced Settings, creating an app, using https://app.superlist.com/mcp as the MCP Server URL, and setting OAuth as the authentication method before authorizing with Superlist.

Configuration

Configure the MCP client as a hosted remote connector with URL https://app.superlist.com/mcp. The documented authentication method is OAuth. No environment variables, local command, package identifier, CLI flags, custom headers, or user-provided tokens are documented for this hosted remote server.

Authentication

The hosted MCP endpoint uses standard OAuth. Users sign in directly with Superlist, and the AI tool does not see the user's Superlist password. Access can be revoked by removing the connector inside the AI tool.

Capabilities

Documented examples include asking what is due today, adding tasks to named lists, creating a new list with tasks, checking overdue tasks, moving unfinished tasks from one day to another, summarizing completed work, drafting project plans from meeting transcripts or documents, and pulling assigned tasks into other tools such as a status update. The product page also describes setting due dates, priorities, labels, owners via labels, recurring routines, project scaffolding, and inbox triage through an AI assistant.

Prerequisites

Users need an active Superlist account and an AI assistant or developer tool that supports custom MCP connectors. Some advanced functionality may require a paid Superlist plan.

Limits And Security

Superlist documents no MCP-specific usage limits; MCP usage follows the same limits as the user's Superlist plan. The Free plan is limited to up to 5 shared or private lists, no sublists, and up to 5 members per list. The connector only accesses data the authenticated Superlist account can already access. AI tools may request permission before write operations such as adding or deleting tasks. Troubleshooting guidance includes confirming the same Superlist account is signed in, reconnecting the MCP connector, confirming the AI tool supports custom MCP connectors, and matching exact task/list names.

The privacy policy states that MCP connectors are optional, activated only when explicitly authorized via OAuth, and transmit to the AI provider the account identity and task/list content needed to fulfill the user's request. It also states the assistant can create, edit, complete, delete, share, and organize tasks and lists when instructed by the user.
