About Things Orchestrator

Things Orchestrator is an unofficial, open-source bridge between AI clients and one Things Cloud account.

The project exists because Things Cloud has no public API. A user runs Things Orchestrator on a Mac or Linux host that they control. The service exposes eight bounded MCP tools for reading, capturing, updating, completing, and moving items to recoverable Trash. Things remains the system of record.

What the project does

Things Orchestrator reads from Things Cloud and writes through its sync protocol. After a mutation, the service reads the account back before it reports success. The serving host keeps the Things Cloud password. MCP clients receive only the service URL and its bearer credential.

The project supports local loopback access, private access through a tailnet, and public HTTPS behind infrastructure that the user operates. It is designed for one account and one trusted operator. It is not a hosted credential service.
