      ]
    }
  }
}

The Routine MCP Server enables you to run a local MCP server that communicates over stdin and stdout, letting you integrate Routine’s context capabilities into your MCP ecosystem. It’s simple to start, works with MCP clients, and supports quick development workflows.

How to use

You interact with the server through your MCP client by sending JSON requests over the standard input stream and receiving responses on the standard output stream. Start the server using the MCP command shown below, then point your MCP client at it. You can run it directly with a simple command, or embed it in your client configuration. The server is designed to work with clients that implement the MCP protocol, enabling you to request context, manage models, or trigger actions within your workflow.

If you are configuring a client on Claude Desktop, you can reference the following example to connect to the Routine MCP server. Create a file named claude_desktop_config.json with the following structure to register the Routine MCP server as a local runtime.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "routine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["routine-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and a package manager (npm or yarn) installed on your system. You should also have access to a terminal or shell where you can run commands.

Install dependencies for development and build the project. You typically use Yarn in this project.
Build the MCP server
Start the MCP server in development mode
Run the server with npx or install it locally for ongoing use

# Install dependencies
yarn

# Build the project
yarn build

# Start the server in development mode
yarn start

# Run the MCP server directly via npx (quick start)
npx routine-mcp-server

Additional configuration and notes

If you are integrating with Claude Desktop, you can connect by placing a local MCP server entry in your Claude Desktop configuration as shown in the example earlier.
