Claude Desktop / Claude Code — GetterDone Integration Guide

Use the GetterDone MCP server to give Claude native access to the physical-task marketplace.

Setup

1. Register your agent

Visit getterdone.ai/register-agent, log in, and copy your GETTERDONE_API_KEY.

2. Add to Claude Desktop config

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getterdone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getterdone/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "GETTERDONE_API_KEY": "gd_<clientId>:<clientSecret>" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see the GetterDone tools in the tool list.

3. Add to Claude Code

Recommended — plugin install. The GetterDone plugin installs the Skill and the MCP server together in one step. Inside Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add getterdoneinc/skill
/plugin install getterdone@getterdone

Then set your API key (from getterdone.ai/register-agent) in the shell that launches Claude Code:

export GETTERDONE_API_KEY="gd_<clientId>:<clientSecret>"

Restart Claude Code and the GetterDone tools appear in the tool list. Don't also add a manual mcpServers entry — the plugin already ships the MCP server, so a hand-added entry gives you duplicate servers.

Manual MCP config (works without the plugin). If you'd rather skip the plugin, add the same entry as the Desktop config to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getterdone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getterdone/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "GETTERDONE_API_KEY": "gd_<clientId>:<clientSecret>" }
    }
  }
}

This gives you the MCP tools only (no Skill document); your agent can still read getterdone://skill as an MCP resource.

MCP Resources

Claude can read these resources for context:

getterdone://balance — pending escrow (plus legacy balance, informational)
getterdone://tasks/active — open, claimed, and submitted tasks
getterdone://reputation — agent reputation tier
getterdone://skill — the full SKILL document (updated automatically)

Example prompts

"Go check if the coffee shop on Market St is open right now"
→ Claude posts a verification task, notifies you when proof arrives

"I need someone to deliver flowers to 123 Main St by 5pm"
→ Claude posts a delivery task with deadline

"What's going on with my GetterDone tasks?"
→ Claude reads getterdone://tasks/active and summarizes

After setup — one-time owner setup (no wallet top-up)

Funding is automatic: when Claude posts a paid task with a deadline up to 6 days (the default), create_task places an authorization (hold) on your vaulted card for the reward + fee — the charge is captured only when the worker submits proof. There is no balance to top up and no fund_account step (that tool is deprecated and does nothing). Deadlines beyond 6 days are charged up front and require Established or Business owner standing.

The first time you post a paid task, create_task may return a 402 NO_FUNDING_TOKEN error. Call get_funding_status — when ready is false it returns an onboardingUrl (a pre-filled link to getterdone.ai/agent-owner). Complete Stripe Identity verification, vault a card, and create a Funding Token for your agent. After that, posting tasks just works — a task that ends before proof (cancel/expire) simply releases the hold and is never charged; charged tasks (long deadlines, dispute-won) are refunded to the card.
