# 🚀 Basecamp MCP Server — 2026 Complete Version
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 What This Unlocks
|
||||
|
||||
**This MCP server gives AI direct access to your entire Basecamp workspace.** Instead of clicking through interfaces, you just *tell* it what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 Basecamp-Native Power Moves
|
||||
|
||||
The AI can directly control your Basecamp account with natural language:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Smart automation** — Complex workflows in plain English
|
||||
- **Data intelligence** — Query, analyze, and export your Basecamp data
|
||||
- **Rapid operations** — Bulk actions that would take hours manually
|
||||
- **Cross-platform integration** — Combine Basecamp with other tools seamlessly
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔗 The Real Power: Combining Tools
|
||||
|
||||
AI can chain multiple Basecamp operations together:
|
||||
|
||||
- Query data → Filter results → Generate reports
|
||||
- Search records → Update fields → Notify team
|
||||
- Analyze metrics → Create tasks → Schedule follow-ups
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 What's Inside
|
||||
|
||||
**52 API tools** covering the entire Basecamp platform (Project Management).
|
||||
|
||||
All with proper error handling, automatic authentication, and TypeScript types.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Claude Desktop (Local)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clone and build:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/BusyBee3333/Basecamp-MCP-2026-Complete.git
|
||||
cd basecamp-mcp-2026-complete
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Get your Basecamp API credentials** (see Authentication section below)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Configure Claude Desktop:**
|
||||
|
||||
On macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"basecamp": {
|
||||
"command": "node",
|
||||
"args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/basecamp-mcp/dist/index.js"],
|
||||
"env": {
|
||||
"BASECAMP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Restart Claude Desktop**
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Deploy to Railway
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://railway.app/template/basecamp-mcp)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the button above
|
||||
2. Set your Basecamp API credentials in Railway dashboard
|
||||
3. Use the Railway URL as your MCP server endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Docker
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker build -t basecamp-mcp .
|
||||
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
|
||||
-e BASECAMP_API_KEY=your-key \
|
||||
basecamp-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
See the official [Basecamp API documentation](https://docs.basecamp.com) for authentication details.
|
||||
|
||||
The MCP server handles token refresh automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Example Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Once connected to Claude, you can use natural language. Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- *"Show me recent activity in Basecamp"*
|
||||
- *"Create a new record with these details..."*
|
||||
- *"Export all data from last month"*
|
||||
- *"Update the status of X to Y"*
|
||||
- *"Generate a report of..."*
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Node.js 18+
|
||||
- npm or yarn
|
||||
- Basecamp account with API access
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/BusyBee3333/Basecamp-MCP-2026-Complete.git
|
||||
cd basecamp-mcp-2026-complete
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
# Edit .env with your Basecamp credentials
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm test # Run all tests
|
||||
npm run test:watch # Watch mode
|
||||
npm run test:coverage # Coverage report
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Authentication failed"
|
||||
- Verify your API credentials are correct
|
||||
- Check that your API key hasn't been revoked
|
||||
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions
|
||||
|
||||
### "Tools not appearing in Claude"
|
||||
- Restart Claude Desktop after updating config
|
||||
- Check that the path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is absolute
|
||||
- Verify the build completed successfully (`dist/index.js` exists)
|
||||
