Use Done in Poke

Connect Done to Poke: create an integration with https://trydone.app/mcp and your Done MCP token, and text your assistant tasks that land on a real to-do list.

Who this is for

For Poke users who'd like to text their assistant a task and have it land on a real to-do list — and have Poke work the ones you hand it, with your approval before anything is closed.

Set it up

Done's MCP server URL

https://trydone.app/mcp

Add Done as an integration MCP token

  1. In Done, open Settings → Agent access and generate an MCP token — a read-only or single-project one from Extra MCP tokens is a good start.
  2. In Poke, open Integrations → New (poke.com/integrations/new).
  3. Name it Done, set the MCP Server URL to https://trydone.app/mcp, and paste your token as the API Key.
  4. Click Create Integration. Poke connects and finds Done's tools.

Poke sends the API key as Authorization: Bearer <key>, which is exactly what Done expects.

Need a narrower key? Under Settings → Agent access → Extra MCP tokens you can create one that's read-only, or limited to one project or one workspace — the agent then only ever sees that much.

What to say to it

Once Done is connected, talk to the assistant normally. Each of these maps to a real Done tool:

“What's on my plate today?”
get_todays_plan
“Add a task: send the invoice to Sam friday p1”
quick_capture
“Pick up your next Done task and propose a plan before you start.”
next_task → propose_plan
“If you hit a decision you can't make, ask me and keep going with the rest.”
ask_decision
“When it's finished, send it to me for approval.”
propose_completion

Every tool, prompt and resource Done exposes is listed in the MCP reference.

The approval gate

By default an assistant can't close your tasks. When it thinks a task is finished it calls propose_completion, which parks the task as Pending approval until you approve it or send it back from Needs you; substantial work starts with propose_plan, which waits for your go-ahead. A question goes through ask_decision: that task waits for your answer while the agent moves on to the next one. Done enforces this on its own server, so it holds whatever the assistant tries — an agent can only complete a task directly when you've set that task's Autonomy to let it.

Troubleshooting

Poke stopped reaching Done
The token was revoked or regenerated. Create a new one in Done and update the integration's API key.

FAQ

Why a token rather than a sign-in?

Poke documents the API-key route for custom integrations, and a token lets you keep Poke read-only or on a single project.

Is there a shared API key for Done?

No. Every connection belongs to one Done account: an OAuth sign-in, or an MCP token you generate yourself. There is no shared or global key. Each connected assistant is listed under Settings → Agent access, where you can revoke it in a click.

What can the assistant see?

Only what your account can see: your workspaces and anything shared with you. A read-only, one-project or one-workspace token narrows that further.

Does it cost anything?

The Free plan includes 100 agent (MCP) calls a month; Pro and Teams are unlimited. The assistant's own plan is separate.
