Basecamp MCP

Basecamp's official hosted MCP server allows AI assistants to interact with Basecamp projects, to-dos, message boards, card tables, calendars, docs, and Campfire. It enables agents to read and write data, manage tasks, and summarize discussions, with access scoped strictly to the user's permissions.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http basecamp-mcp https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add basecamp-mcp --url https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable basecamp-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basecamp-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
