Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

BasicOps MCP server for project management, tasks, notes, and team collaboration.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP, SSE
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http basicops https://app.basicops.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basicops": {
      "url": "https://app.basicops.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "basicops": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.basicops.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    BasicOps API key. Required for clients that do not support OAuth 2.1 (e.g. Claude CLI).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Basicops safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

BasicOps MCP Server

The official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for BasicOps — a project management platform for tasks, notes, and team collaboration.

Connect any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to your BasicOps workspace and manage your work using natural language.

Endpoints

TransportURL
Streamable HTTPhttps://app.basicops.com/mcp
SSE (legacy)https://app.basicops.com/mcp/sse

Authentication

The BasicOps MCP server supports two authentication methods:

OAuth 2.1 (recommended)

Most MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) support OAuth 2.1. When you connect, you will be redirected through the OAuth 2.1 authorization flow to grant access to your BasicOps workspace. No manual token management is required.

API Key

For clients that do not support OAuth token refresh (such as Claude CLI / Claude Code), you can authenticate using a BasicOps API key instead.

  1. In BasicOps, go to Settings → API Keys and generate a new key. Copy the key — it is only shown once.
  2. Configure your MCP client to send the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header (see client-specific instructions below).

API keys do not expire by default but can be revoked at any time from Settings → API Keys.

Features

The BasicOps MCP server exposes tools for working with your entire BasicOps workspace:

  • Projects — create, update, list, and archive projects
  • Tasks & Subtasks — create, update, assign, prioritize, and complete tasks
  • Sections — organize tasks within projects using sections
  • Notes — create and manage project notes
  • Messages — post and reply to messages in projects and tasks
  • Templates — list and manage project templates
  • Users — look up team members and current user info
  • File Attachments — upload and attach files to tasks

Getting Started

1. Configure your MCP client
Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop, add a new MCP connector using the custom connector option. Enter a name (e.g. BasicOps) and the Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://app.basicops.com/mcp

On first use, you will be prompted to sign in to BasicOps via the OAuth 2.1 authorization flow.

Claude CLI / Claude Code

Claude CLI does not support OAuth token refresh, so use an API key instead. Generate one in BasicOps Settings → API Keys, then run:

claude mcp add basicops \

--transport http \ https://app.basicops.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer bo_YOUR_API_KEY"

Or add it manually to your ~/.claude.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "basicops": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.basicops.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bo_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Other clients

Use the Streamable HTTP endpoint https://app.basicops.com/mcp. For clients that only support SSE, use https://app.basicops.com/mcp/sse instead.

Clients that support OAuth 2.1 will be redirected through the authorization flow automatically. Clients that do not support OAuth can pass an API key as Authorization: Bearer bo_YOUR_API_KEY.
