TickTick + Gemini
Drive TickTick (cross-platform task manager) from any AI agent: projects, tasks, completed-tasks reporting. 6 tools, OAuth2 Bearer auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
TICKTICK_ACCESS_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
ticktick.com).
Setup:
- Register an app at https://developer.ticktick.com → Manage Apps → New App.
- Note Client ID and Client Secret, and configure a redirect URL.
- Run OAuth2 authorization-code flow with scopes
tasks:read tasks:write. - Set
TICKTICK_ACCESS_TOKENto the obtained token (lifetime varies; refresh externally).
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${TICKTICK_ACCESS_TOKEN}.
Project hierarchy: Inbox + user-created projects (lists) → tasks → subtasks (items).
Date format: ISO 8601 with timezone (e.g. 2026-03-15T15:30:00+0000).
Priority: 0 (none), 1 (low), 3 (medium), 5 (high).
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (or %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json on Windows). Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —TickTickshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDto thetoolsarray of your request with the sameX-API-Keyheader.
