# Symplist

> A calm, open-source task workspace. Three lists — Now, Later, Unclassified — and one editable
> Markdown document with real Git history behind every task. Free, MIT licensed, and it runs no
> assistant of its own.

Symplist publishes its tools over MCP and runs no agent. The assistant is whichever MCP client the
person already uses; that client holds the model key and calls the provider itself. Symplist never
holds one.

## Connect to it

- MCP endpoint: https://api.symplist.app/mcp
- Authorization: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256), dynamic client registration, and client ID metadata
  documents. A consent screen names the client and the access it asked for.
- Discovery: https://api.symplist.app/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
- Scopes: tasks:read, tasks:write
- Grants are per-client, can be scoped to particular tasks, and are revocable at any time by the owner.

## Tools

Tasks: task_search, task_list, task_context, task_create, task_move
Labels: label_list, label_create, task_set_labels
Documents: task_document_outline, task_document_search, task_document_read_section,
task_document_changes, task_document_diff, task_document_history, task_document_update_section,
task_document_restore
Scheduling and sharing: task_schedule, artifact_snapshot, artifact_share_list, artifact_share_revoke

There is no rename or delete for labels over MCP: either would change tasks outside the grant.

## What it stores, plainly

- Task titles, documents, labels and vault entries are encrypted at rest.
- Email addresses are not encrypted; an address is the sign-in key.
- This is not end-to-end encryption: the service holds the keys and can read content to provide the
  features the owner asked for.
- Product analytics is off until a person accepts it. No session replay, no advertising trackers, and
  no task or document text.
