Productive.io project and agency management: projects, tasks, boards, to-dos, comments, people, companies, deals and budgets, time entries, bookings, invoices, Docs pages and webhooks.
Productive.io ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 57 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.productiveProductive.io is project, resource and financial management for agencies and professional-services teams. This app drives its REST API from a workflow: create and update projects, tasks and task lists, keep to-do checklists and comments, and read people, companies and Docs pages.
It also covers the money side: deals and budgets, the services inside a budget, time entries logged against them, resource bookings, and invoices (read), plus webhooks so a workflow can react to Productive events.
Authentication is a personal API token (X-Auth-Token) together with the numeric organization id (X-Organization-Id). The token acts as its owner, so what a workflow can see and change follows that person’s role. Lists return flattened resources with the vendor’s page metadata and a cursor for the next page.
Three routes to the same 57 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Productive.io's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
booking-list List resource bookings, filtered, sorted and paged (`GET /bookings`). Tentative bookings need `draft` and `withDraft` both true.
booking-update Change a booking (`PATCH /bookings/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
comment-create Comment on a task, deal, project, discussion, company or invoice (`POST /comments`).
comment-update Edit a comment (`PATCH /comments/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
company-list List companies (clients, vendors), filtered, sorted and paged (`GET /companies`).
company-update Change a company (`PATCH /companies/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
deal-list List deals and budgets (one endpoint, told apart by `budget`), filtered, sorted and paged (`GET /deals`).
deal-update Change a deal or budget (`PATCH /deals/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent. A budget's `delivered_on` can only be set through the vendor's close route, which this app does not cover.
project-update Change a project's name, type, company, manager or custom fields (`PATCH /projects/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
task-update Change a task, including moving it to another status or assignee (`PATCH /tasks/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
tasklist-update Rename or reposition a task list (`PATCH /task_lists/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
time-entry-list List time entries, filtered, sorted and paged (`GET /time_entries`).
time-entry-update Change a time entry (`PATCH /time_entries/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
todo-update Edit or complete a checklist item (`PATCH /todos/{id}`). Only the fields you set are sent.
webhook-create Create a webhook that calls a URL when an event happens (`POST /webhooks`). The answer omits the signature token and custom headers.
webhook-get Get one webhook by id (`GET /webhooks/{id}`). The signature token and custom headers are removed from the answer.
webhook-list List webhooks (`GET /webhooks`). The signature token and custom headers are removed from the answer.
workflow-status-list List task workflow statuses (the columns tasks move through), filtered and paged (`GET /workflow_statuses`).
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Productive.io's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Productive.io, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Productive.io. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.productive#board-create",
"input": {
"name": "<name>",
"projectId": "<projectId>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Productive.io connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Productive.io's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Productive.io itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Productive.io declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
Component status from status.productive.io (Uptime.com page data). The API Requests component decides; Document Exporting, Mailing, Searching, Realtime Notifications, Public Web and the User Interface are reported as detail.
Unauthenticated GET https://api.productive.io/api/v2/projects. A 401 carrying Productive's JSON:API `errors` envelope passes: it proves the API and its auth layer are answering. Credential validity is the derived `auth:*` check's job.
