Focusmo macOS app adds local MCP server for Claude AI integration
Focusmo, a macOS focus app developed by a solo developer, has shipped a local MCP server that enables Claude AI to connect to real focus data. The integration allows Claude to provide productivity advice based on actual user context rather than generic suggestions.
Key features and capabilities
The MCP server gives Claude access to several types of focus data:
- Today's stats
- Weekly trends
- Task list
- App usage with an hourly heatmap
- Personal records
- Live session state
Claude can also perform actions through the integration:
- Create tasks
- Mark tasks complete
Primary use cases
The main application is weekly review and planning with actual context. Example queries include:
- What patterns do you see in my focus data this week?
- Which tasks consumed the most real time?
- Help me plan tomorrow based on what I actually finished today
Technical implementation details
The developer prioritized several technical considerations:
- Local-only operation on Mac
- No external server required
- All data stays on-device
- Simple setup for Claude Desktop or Claude Code
The integration represents a practical application of MCP (Model Context Protocol) for connecting AI assistants to local application data without compromising privacy through cloud transmission.
