[Feature] Make MCP server configuration easy for VSCode users #37

Description

@jganten

Currently, to add the TickTick MCP server to a VSCode-based MCP client, the user must manually enter a command such as:

uv run --directory <your-path-to-ticktick-mcp> -m ticktick_mcp.cli run

or, for JSON config:

{
  "servers": {
    "ticktick-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "<your-path-to-ticktick-mcp>",
        "-m",
        "ticktick_mcp.cli",
        "run"
      ]
    }
  },
  "inputs": []
}

Request:

  • Document this general setup for cross-platform use (Windows: double backslashes or escaped string, Linux/Mac: regular paths) in README
  • Add VSCode (or generic MCP extension) specific instructions:
    1. Ctrl+Shift+P → MCP: Add Server → Command (stdio)
    2. Paste the generalized command string with placeholder for path
  • Ensure documentation/general guidance avoids leaking user-specific paths but provides clarity for configuration

This will help users to set up TickTick MCP in VSCode.
