Terminal-driven task management via Claude Code

The `create_new_task` tool lets you pipe terminal outputs directly into your Lunatask inbox from the Claude Code command line. The CLI agent uses `list_tasks_metadata` to scan your active items and helps you prioritize them directly from your terminal session.

Automated CI/CD logging using this MCP Server

Running `track_habit_completion` inside your shell scripts lets Claude Code log successful deployments as completed daily habits in Lunatask. If a build fails, Claude Code can immediately trigger `create_new_task` to flag the failure on your Lunatask board.

Scriptable note and journal creation

You can call `create_journal_entry` directly from Claude Code to push terminal logs into your encrypted Lunatask journal. Querying your note structure with `list_notes_metadata` helps you keep files organized without leaving the Claude Code terminal environment.
