Edi Life OS: self-hosted life dashboard with an MCP server for AI assistants
Overview
Edi Life OS is a free, open-source life dashboard that combines to-dos, habits, budgets, focus timers and notes in one PHP and MySQL app, released by edrisranjbar and announced on Hacker News.
The creator says it has no subscription, no tracking and no vendor lock-in, and that it runs on any PHP and MySQL host, including cheap shared hosting, with all data kept in the owner's own database.
An optional MCP server exposes 15 tools across the dashboard, goals, tasks, habits, finances and notes. The creator says these let MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Claude Code read the dashboard, plan goals, log habits and track expenses. The server runs over stdio, so there is no hosted MCP endpoint.
