Saga MCP

Your coding agent loses the plan between sessions. You come back tomorrow and it has no idea which of the five things you agreed on are done, which one is blocked on which, or why you rejected the second approach - because the plan lived in the context window, or in a TODO.md nobody updates. Its 31 documented tools cover tracker, task, template, note.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Saga MCP

before you install - you'll need

DB_PATH

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add spranab-saga-mcp -- npx -y saga-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spranab-saga-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "saga-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
