Motion MCP Server

Motion is an AI-powered calendar and task management app that auto-schedules your work.

Getting Started

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ and a Motion API key.

Local Setup (npx)

For desktop MCP clients — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and similar.

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "motion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["motionmcp"],
      "env": {
        "MOTION_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Test from the command line:

MOTION_API_KEY=your_api_key npx motionmcp

> Tip: npx always runs the latest published version — no install needed.

Remote Setup (Cloudflare Workers)

For mobile and web clients — Claude mobile/web, ChatGPT mobile/web, or any HTTP MCP client.

One-click deploy

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

After deploy, set your secrets in the Cloudflare dashboard (Workers > your worker > Settings > Variables):
- MOTION_API_KEY — your Motion API key
- MOTION_MCP_SECRET — a random string (generate with openssl rand -hex 16)

Manual deploy

```bash
