Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

Basecamp MCP Integration is a project that provides a Magic Copy Paste (MCP) server for Basecamp 3, allowing users to interact with Basecamp directly through the MCP protocol.

To use the Basecamp MCP Integration, clone the repository, set up the environment, and start the OAuth app and MCP server. Then, authenticate with Basecamp and use the MCP server URL in your application.

  • OAuth 2.0 authentication flow with Basecamp. - Secure token storage for OAuth tokens. - MCP server for seamless interaction with Basecamp API. - Support for Composio integration for AI-powered workflows.
  1. Automating project management tasks in Basecamp.
  2. Integrating Basecamp with AI tools for enhanced productivity.
  3. Facilitating easy access to Basecamp resources through MCP protocol.

Use these steps to connect Basecamp MCP Integration in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-basecamp-mcp-server-georgeantonopoulos"
      ]
    }
  }
}
