# Things 3 Integration

## Available Tools

- **web_fetch**: Use Things URL scheme

## Things URL Scheme

Things supports URL commands: `things:///`

```
things:///add?title=Task%20Title&notes=Task%20notes&when=today
```

### Add to List
```
things:///add?title=Task&list=Work
```

### Show Project
```
things:///show?id={project_id}
```

## AppleScript Commands

### Create Task
```applescript
osascript -e 'tell application "Things3"
    make new to do with properties {name:"Task Title", notes:"Notes"}
end tell'
```

### List Today's Tasks
```applescript
osascript -e 'tell application "Things3"
    name of to dos of list "Today"
end tell'
```

## Usage Examples

User: "Add task to buy groceries"
1. Open Things URL with things:///add
2. Or use AppleScript

User: "Show my tasks for today"
1. Use AppleScript to query Today list
2. Parse and format results

User: "Create project for new client"
