I tried Vikunja with MCP + VS Code copilot

Feature Discussion

I created a token from the settings with both create and read permissions, and used it in the MCP server within VS Code.

Since there’s no official Vikunja MCP server available, I used this unofficial implementation instead:
:link: GitHub - democratize-technology/vikunja-mcp: Model Context Protocol server for Vikunja task management. Enables AI assistants to interact with Vikunja instances via MCP.

This opened up a whole new range of possibilities—now the AI can create, organize, and sort tasks automatically.

I’m using GitHub Copilot Pro, which is just $10/month, and includes access to GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, and GPT-5-mini—more than enough for handling task management through MCP.

(Tip: You can also get GitHub Copilot for free through the GitHub Student Pack.)

:wrench: Awesome Things to Try Next:

  • Tell the AI to generate a task list for a new project
  • Ask the AI to sort tasks by priority or deadline
  • Have it auto-organize tasks into Vikunja namespaces or lists
  • Use AI to refactor and split large tasks into subtasks
  • Integrate with code context to create TODOs directly from code
  • Write Code as per task

Endless possibilities!!
