Model Context Protocol

Connect AI Agents to GanttFather

Use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to let your favorite AI coding assistant manage your GanttFather projects directly.

How it works

1. Generate a Token

Go to your project Settings tab in GanttFather and generate an agent access token.

2. Copy the Snippet

Choose your AI editor below and copy the JSON configuration block.

3. Start Building

Your AI agent can now create tasks, assign people, and manage your Gantt chart.

Recommended: OAuth Flow

If your editor supports OAuth-based MCP servers (like Claude Desktop), simply add this URL as a custom MCP server. You'll be prompted to authorize securely — no manual token needed.

Token-Based Configuration

For editors without native OAuth support, generate an access token from your project Settings and paste it in the snippet below.

Claude Code

Add to your project settings or ~/.claude/settings.json

.claude.json

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root

.cursor/mcp.json

VS Code (Cline)

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json

cline_mcp_settings.json

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

Antigravity

Add via Antigravity MCP settings panel

Settings > MCP Servers

mcp_config.json Universal snippet — same for all editors

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ganttlite": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.ganttfather.com/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with the token generated from your project's Settings page.
