Motion

Motion is an MCP server that integrates the Motion task and scheduling platform with AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code with Continue. It connects directly to Motion v1 APIs, enabling software engineers, project managers, and busy professionals to control their schedules and workloads using conversational prompts. The server provides full coverage across Motion's core features, including workspaces, projects, recurring tasks, individual tasks, schedules, and task comments. To prevent service interruptions, it features an integrated rate-limiting mechanism backed by a local SQLite database that enforces Motion's limit of 12 requests per three-minute window across restarts. Users can query task statuses, modify priorities, assign work, create project structures, and handle calendar schedules directly from their AI chat environment without navigating the Motion web app.
