About Structured MCP Server
Integrate the powerful tracking of the Structured daily planner directly into your conversational AI environment. Empower your productivity by allowing your LLM to intuitively create tasks, schedule complex recurring routines, and manage your day programmatically without opening the mobile app. With this MCP connector securely attached to your Structured Pro environment, your agent can serve as an active scheduling assistant, iterating dynamically through your agenda, parsing task structures, and executing adjustments organically.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Structured data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 9 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Agenda Discovery — Audit your scheduled events querying active records using
list_tasksand retrieve deep metadata specific assignments utilizingget_task_details. - Task Orchestration — Drive agile agenda resolutions adding new items seamlessly executing
create_taskor adjusting timelines usingupdate_task. - Routine Management — Check your active multi-step routines effectively through
list_plansand isolate their specific structural constraints engagingget_plan_details. - Profile Validations — Safely extract your user metadata boundaries and operational statuses natively invoking
get_user_profile.
