name: sunsama description: | Sunsama MCP integration with managed authentication. Manage daily tasks, calendar events, backlog, objectives, and time tracking. Use this skill when users want to interact with Sunsama for task management and daily planning. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: homepage: "https://maton.ai" requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

Sunsama MCP

Access Sunsama via MCP (Model Context Protocol) with managed authentication.

Quick Start

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'searchTerm': 'meeting'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/sunsama/search_tasks', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/sunsama/{tool-name}

Replace {tool-name} with the MCP tool name (e.g., search_tasks). The gateway proxies requests to Sunsama's MCP server and automatically injects your credentials.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Sunsama MCP connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/sunsama/search_tasks', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    searchTerm: 'meeting'
  })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/sunsama/search_tasks',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'

    json={
        'searchTerm': 'meeting'
    }
)
print(response.json())

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Missing MCP connection or invalid tool name
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
429	Rate limited

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Notes

• All task IDs are MongoDB ObjectIds (24-character hex strings)
• Date format: YYYY-MM-DD for days, ISO 8601 for datetimes
• MCP tool responses wrap content in {"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}], "isError": false} format
• The text field contains JSON-stringified data that should be parsed
• Time estimates are returned as human-readable strings (e.g., "20 minutes")
