pndr_skill

Overview

This skill provides AI agents with natural-language access to a personal productivity hub (Ideas/Tasks, Journal, Habits, Packages, Lists and more) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It lets an assistant read and update your Pndr account so you can manage tasks, habits, journaling, package tracking and lists without opening the app. Authentication is via OAuth and the assistant uses MCP tools to securely read/write your data.

How this skill works

The skill exposes Pndr endpoints through an MCP server adapter so AI assistants can call specific tools to list, create, edit, and complete items in your account. The assistant maps plain-language requests (e.g., “add a task”, “mark habit done”, “show today’s focus”) to MCP tool calls such as add_idea, complete_habit, get_today, and add_thought. You provide a Bearer access token in your MCP client config to authorize the assistant.

When to use it

• When you want an assistant to add, edit, or complete tasks and ideas for you
• When you want quick journaling and fuzzy search over past thoughts through conversation
• When you want to mark and track daily habits without opening the app
• When you need package tracking updates or to mark deliveries as delivered
• When you want to manage shopping, reading, or project lists via chat

Best practices

• Create an API OAuth client in Pndr and store the Bearer token in your MCP client config
• Limit the assistant’s scope to the minimum features it needs (e.g., tasks only) for safer access
• Use clear natural-language commands including dates and priorities for predictable results
• Test calls with mcporter or your MCP client before trusting automated workflows
• Regularly rotate the access token and remove unused OAuth clients

Example use cases

• Add a high-priority task: “Add a task to finalize the Q2 deck by Friday, priority P1”
• Daily habit flow: “Mark my meditation habit complete and show today’s streak”
• Journal capture and search: “Add a thought about today’s meeting” then “Show my thoughts about onboarding last month”
• Package workflow: “Track package 1Z999… from UPS and notify me when delivered”
• List management: “Create a grocery list and add milk, eggs, and bread”
