Daily Assistant MCP Server

A personal task management MCP Server. Deterministic operations (parsing, sorting, statistics) run in Python with zero token cost — AI only steps in when creativity is needed.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/AsuraNale/daily-assistant-mcp.git
cd daily-assistant-mcp
python3 src/setup.py --auto   # Windows: py src/setup.py --auto

The setup wizard creates a .venv, installs dependencies, sets up your data directory, and auto-configures your AI editor. No manual pip install or config editing needed.

Design Philosophy

• Zero-token deterministic ops: Parsing, sorting, stats run in Python code
• AI only when needed: Task splitting, creative advice, context-aware suggestions
• Platform-independent: Windows, macOS, Linux. No Obsidian dependency
• Simple data: Plain Markdown files, edit anywhere
