MCP/Sunny: read and write task comments and attachments
Mike O
Following Zane’s suggestion to create separate roadmap items for additions to the completed MCP Server integration.
I use Sunsama for a human-and-agent review loop: an agent prepares a task, I work through a focused review and leave comments or screenshots, then the agent reads my feedback and records the outcome. Notes support is useful, but this loop currently requires manual browser interaction to retrieve and post task comments.
Please add MCP support for:
• Listing task comments with stable IDs, author, timestamps, pagination and attachment metadata.
• Appending a comment or replying where supported, with idempotency so retries do not duplicate messages.
• Reading/downloading and adding task/comment attachments through permission-respecting tools.
• Detecting changes since the last read, ideally through a change feed or notifications.
Preserve existing comment history and user drafts; keep edits/deletions distinct from appending. This would let a user leave feedback in Sunsama and have an authorized assistant continue reliably with an auditable record.
I searched the roadmap for MCP, comments and attachments and did not find this specific request. Happy to merge with an existing item if I missed one.

I strongly support this feature. I often use task comments to record my work log, what happened during the task, and how I felt at the time. At the end of each week, I ask GPT to review my work and help me understand what went well, what caused delays, and what I should adjust next week.
Being able to read task comments would make this kind of review much more valuable, because comments are essentially a chronological work log.
In my view, task notes and comments serve different purposes. Task notes should contain relatively stable information such as instructions, reference materials, links, or long-term context, while comments are better suited for ongoing progress updates, temporary thoughts, problems encountered, and reflections during execution.
So I would really like MCP/Sunny to be able to read task comments.
