How to Use the Sunsama MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I list available channels in Sunsama with Claude Code?

Yes. Running listchannels outputs all the predefined organizational channels from Sunsama—things like 'Work' or 'Personal'—which your script can then use for logic branching.

Q: How do I check task status in Sunsama using Claude Code?

Use gettaskdetails to retrieve all associated metadata for a specific task ID. This is better than listing everything, as it gives you precise information needed for scripting decisions.

Q: Can I list contexts in Sunsama with Claude Code?

Absolutely. Running listcontexts lists all available project boundaries within Sunsama, allowing your script to know which workspace it's connected to before running any commands.

Bulk task list generation.

You can run a script to gather all tasks using `list_tasks`. Because this is CLI-native, you can pipe that output directly into another tool or database. Plus, the function lets you filter by date. This means your cron job only processes tasks due in the next 72 hours.

System profile retrieval.

Need to know who's running the script? Use `get_user_profile` to fetch current user details from Sunsama. This is critical for logging or assigning ownership in automated pipelines. It also provides `list_contexts`, letting you confirm which project workspace the job is currently operating within.

High-impact task lifecycle actions.

When a project finishes, you need to clean up. Use `delete_task` to remove finished items permanently. It's fast and non-interactive—perfect for CI/CD. Alternatively, if the plan changed, running `update_task` lets your script modify an entry's details without manual intervention.
