# skylight-mcp [](https://github.com/chrischall/skylight-mcp/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/skylight-mcp) [](LICENSE) MCP server for [Skylight Calendar](https://www.ourskylight.com) — 102 tools across calendar events (read+write), shared lists (read+write), chores and rewards (read+write), task-box items (read+write), meals (read+write), AI auto-creation (meal-plan + activity-idea generators with draft review/approve), messages and albums (read+write), and frame/device/account settings + calendar + member management (read+write). Every API request carries the `skylight-api-version: 2026-05-01` header (matching the official mobile app); without it some features 422 with "API version does not support …". ## Auth The server uses a headless email+password OAuth2 authorization-code flow — no SSO, no 2FA, no browser extension required. Credentials are always `SKYLIGHT_EMAIL` + `SKYLIGHT_PASSWORD`. On first tool call, the server performs four steps against `https://app.ourskylight.com`: 1. `GET /auth/session/new` — fetch the Rails CSRF token and session cookie. 2. `POST /auth/session` — log in with email + password (must happen before OAuth authorize). 3. `GET /oauth/authorize` — receive the one-time authorization code via redirect. 4. `POST /oauth/token` — exchange the code for a bearer `access_token` + `refresh_token` (7-day expiry). The client then refreshes the token proactively (~60 s before expiry) and reactively on any 401. No bot wall has been observed — the headless flow works directly from Node. **No env vars → clean start:** if credentials are not set, the server still starts without error. Auth is deferred to the first tool call, so MCP hosts can complete install-time tool listing before credentials are configured. ## Frame model All data in Skylight is scoped to a *frame* (the family hub device). On first use the client auto-discovers the single frame on the account. If the account has more than one frame, set `SKYLIGHT_FRAME_ID` to the frame ID you want. Every tool that reads frame-scoped data accepts an optional `frameId` arg to override the default. ## Tools | Module | Tool | R/W | Description | |---|---|---|---| | frames | `skylight_list_frames` |
