Deploy and Host Inbox on Railway

Inbox is an MCP-native todo manager. There's no web UI, no REST API, no CLI — the MCP protocol is the only interface. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client and start managing todos. SQLite backend, OAuth 2.1 auth, one-click deploy.

About Hosting Inbox

Inbox runs as a single Python process with an embedded SQLite database — no external services required. The server exposes an MCP endpoint over Streamable HTTP with built-in OAuth 2.1 authentication. On first boot, a one-time setup code is printed to the deploy logs. Visit the setup URL to create your owner account, then connect any MCP client. Railway's persistent volumes keep your SQLite database intact across deploys.

Common Use Cases

Personal task management through AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT
Lightweight project and todo tracking without switching to a separate app
Building AI agent workflows that need structured task state

Dependencies for Inbox Hosting
