LocalAbout Routine Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
Routine Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects the Routine application to MCP clients. It is intended for people who want to use Routine through an MCP-compatible client; the Routine application must be running.
Key features
- 01Connects to the Routine application
- 02Runs through npx or a local build
- 03Communicates over stdin and stdout
Use cases
- 01Use Routine from an MCP client
- 02Configure Routine in Claude Desktop
MCP support
The server communicates using the MCP protocol and can be configured in MCP clients such as Claude Desktop. The Routine application must be running for it to work.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

This is the Routine Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Usage
- Run the Routine application for the MCP server to work.
- Run this MCP server with
npx routine-mcp-serveror configure it in your favorite MCP client.
Claude Desktop

In particular, your file claude_desktop_config.json should look something like that:
{
"mcpServers": {
"routine": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["routine-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
Development
# Install dependencies
yarn

yarn build
Then install the MCP server:
- Command: full path to
nodeexecutable - Arguments: full path to
./dist/index.js

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
