Bring HardlySimple into your local agent.
Connect Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable assistant to your taskboards, sketches, and knowledge bundles through one production endpoint.
MCP server URL
https://hardlysimple.com/mcpInstall with curl
curl -fsSL https://hardlysimple.com/get-mcp/install -o hs-mcp.mjs &&node hs-mcp.mjs --client=all --auth=oauthOr with wget
wget -qO hs-mcp.mjs https://hardlysimple.com/get-mcp/install &&node hs-mcp.mjs --client=all --auth=oauthAdds a hardlysimple server to Claude Desktop using mcp-remote, with a backup before editing the config file.
Runs the Claude CLI MCP command against the production endpoint and keeps the server in user scope.
Writes a [mcp_servers.hardlysimple] block to your Codex config, leaving other MCP servers untouched.
Prints the custom connector steps because ChatGPT runs connectors from its own cloud environment.
What the MCP server can do
Tool calls run as the connected user and reuse the same product query layer as the web app. The agent can only see and change what the account and granted scopes allow.
List boards, inspect tasks, create boards and columns, update cards, move work, and delete tasks.
List sketches, read scenes, get structured previews, create sketches, move them to teams, rename, and update.
Manage OKF knowledge bundles, concepts, task links, and exports through the same authorization layer as the app.
Agents discover the server, use PKCE in the browser, and receive scoped tokens without you pasting secrets into config.
Power users can use a scoped personal access token from MCP settings, supplied through HARDLYSIMPLE_PAT or MCP_PAT.
Scopes restrict what the agent may do; ownership, team access, and admin checks still run in the existing query layer.
Need token management?
Create or revoke personal access tokens and connected OAuth apps in MCP settings. OAuth access starts read-only unless you explicitly grant write or admin scopes.
