Interactive API docs: https://public-api.tidy.com/docs

MCP endpoint: https://public-api.tidy.com/mcp

Quick Start

The fastest way to interact with TIDY is the CLI or the natural language message-tidy endpoint.

CLI Quick Start

# Install
brew install tidyapp/tap/tidy-request   # or: npm i -g @tidydotcom/cli

# Authenticate
tidy-request signup    # new account
tidy-request login     # existing account

# Send any property management request in plain English
tidy-request "Schedule a deep clean for next Tuesday at my Beach House"
tidy-request "Create a guest reservation for April 10-14"
tidy-request "Report a broken window at address 123" --address-id 123

API Quick Start

# Get a token
curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com","password":"yourpassword"}'
# Returns: { "token": "abc123..." }

export TIDY_API_TOKEN="abc123..."

# Send a natural language request
curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/message-tidy \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TIDY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message":"Schedule a cleaning for next Tuesday"}'

Authentication

Sign Up

curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/auth/signup \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "first_name": "Jane",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "password": "secret123"
  }'

Log In

curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"jane@example.com","password":"secret123"}'

Both return: { "token": "abc123..." }. Tokens do not expire.

Use Authorization: Bearer on all subsequent requests.

CLI Authentication

tidy-request signup    # interactive: prompts for name, email, password
tidy-request login     # interactive: prompts for email, password
tidy-request logout    # removes stored credentials

Credentials are stored at ~/.config/tidy/credentials. Set TIDY_API_TOKEN as an environment variable to override stored credentials.

MCP Server

TIDY exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for use with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client.

Endpoint: https://public-api.tidy.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, POST)

Available MCP Tools

Connect from Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tidy": {
      "url": "https://public-api.tidy.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Connect from Claude Code

claude mcp add tidy --transport http https://public-api.tidy.com/mcp

Stdio Proxy (for clients that only support stdio)

npx @tidydotcom/mcp-server
npx @tidydotcom/mcp-server --api-token YOUR_TOKEN

MCP Async Workflow

message_tidy is asynchronous:

1. Call login or signup to get a token
2. Call message_tidy with your request in plain English
3. Note the returned id
4. Poll get_message_tidy with that ID every 3–5 seconds
5. When status is completed, read response_message for the result
