Siftable MCP Server

Connect your IDE's AI assistant to Siftable for task management, curated code memory, and shared workspace context.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that connects AI assistants to external tools and data sources. Siftable provides an MCP server that gives your IDE's AI assistant direct access to your tasks, projects, calendar, knowledge base, and code.

Why use MCP with Siftable?

• Create and complete tasks directly from your IDE
• View and manage projects with full context
• Check your calendar for scheduling
• Search your knowledge base for notes and references
• Recall curated code facts while inspecting source locally
• Find people and contacts in your network

Source inspection stays in your local checkout through Git, rg, your editor, or an authorized coding agent. Hosted MCP exposes curated code memory, not source indexing or source search.

Quick Start

1. Generate a PAT in Siftable settings
2. Configure your MCP client with EXF_API_URL and EXF_PAT
3. Restart the client
4. Start with context_current; use find_capability when a capability is absent and request_capability to inspect missing-scope recovery

Client Configuration

Claude Desktop (macOS)

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "execufunction": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@execufunction/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "EXF_API_URL": "https://api.execufunction.com",
        "EXF_PAT": "exf_pat_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to MCP settings:

{
  "execufunction": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["@execufunction/mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "EXF_API_URL": "https://api.execufunction.com",
      "EXF_PAT": "exf_pat_your_token_here"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add execufunction \
  --command "npx" \
  --args "@execufunction/mcp-server" \
  --env EXF_API_URL=https://api.execufunction.com \
  --env EXF_PAT=exf_pat_your_token_here

Available Tools

Tool	Description
project_list	List all projects
project_get_context	Get full project context
task_list	List tasks
task_create	Create a new task
task_complete	Mark task complete
note_search	Search knowledge base
note_create	Create a note

people_search	Search contacts
find_capability	Discover callable and requestable capabilities
request_capability	Inspect authorization recovery or intentionally request an OAuth challenge
code_memory_search	Search curated code facts

Source and Code Memory

Inspect source locally. Use code memory only for short, durable facts such as architecture decisions, conventions, integration seams, and gotchas.

code_memory_search {
  "query": "authentication middleware convention",
  "limit": 5
}

Authentication

PATs (Personal Access Tokens) are required for MCP access.

• Format: exf_pat_...
• Scope: mcp:* is baseline MCP access, not universal authorization; add the scope families your workflows need
• Security: Tokens are hashed; plaintext shown only once
