GetItDone for AI agents

How AI assistants and agents read and build against GetItDone: llms.txt, Markdown twins of every docs page, the MCP server, and agent guidelines.

Everything an AI assistant or agent needs to read our docs and build against the API — in machine-friendly formats.

Machine-readable indexes

  • llms.txt — a compact index of the site and developer surface.
  • llms-full.txt — the entire developer docs set as one Markdown document.
  • openapi.json — the OpenAPI 3.1 document for the whole /v1 surface.

Markdown twins

Append .md to any developer docs URL to get its Markdown source — ideal for feeding a page straight into a model.

Connect over MCP

The GetItDone MCP server lets an assistant work with tasks directly — including image and video-frame context. Endpoint:

One platform: REST + SDK + MCP

The REST API, the TypeScript SDK, and the MCP server are three doors into the SAME platform — one credential, one set of scopes, one docs surface. The SDK is a typed client over the REST API, so its capabilities track REST exactly. The MCP server (10 tools) is a focused, agent-facing subset plus one capability REST deliberately does not expose.

Documented divergences

  • get_task_video_context is intentionally MCP-only. Extracting frames from a task's videos so an agent can see them is an MCP-native rich-context capability; exposing raw extracted frames over REST is deliberately out of scope for v1. This is a documented divergence, not a missing feature.
  • The GitHub integration tools are copilot-only. They power the in-app AI copilot and have no public REST surface; adding GitHub actions to /v1 is a deliberate, owner-gated scope expansion — not a gap v1 intends to fill.

REST quickstart

Authenticate with a gid_ key over Bearer auth:

curl https://app.nowgetitdone.com/v1/organizations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer gid_YOUR_API_KEY"

TypeScript SDK

A typed client is available — npm install @nowgetitdone/sdk (source on GitHub).

Agent behavior guidelines

  • Respect the scopes on the credential — request only what you need, and expect 403 insufficient_scope otherwise.
  • Send an Idempotency-Key on consequential POSTs so retries are safe.
  • Back off on 429 responses, honoring the Retry-After header.
  • Switch on the stable code in problem responses, never the human title.
