Daily Assistant MCP Server
A personal task management MCP Server. Deterministic operations (parsing, sorting, statistics) run in Python with zero token cost — AI only steps in when creativity is needed.
Setup
git clone https://github.com/AsuraNale/daily-assistant-mcp.git
cd daily-assistant-mcp
python3 src/setup.py --auto # Windows: py src/setup.py --auto
The setup wizard creates a .venv, installs dependencies, sets up your data directory, and auto-configures your AI editor. No manual pip install or config editing needed.
