概要
What is Task API Server - MCP TypeScript Implementation?
The Task API Server - MCP TypeScript Implementation is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a standardized interface for task management. It connects to an external Task API service and supports two runtime modes: STDIO for CLI and AI agent integration, and HTTP+SSE for web-accessible clients. It is written in TypeScript and serves as both a reference implementation and a functional task management server.
How to use Task API Server - MCP TypeScript Implementation?
Install Node.js 16+, clone the repository, run npm install, create a .env file with the required TASK_MANAGER_API_BASE_URL and TASK_MANAGER_API_KEY, then build with npm run build. Start the server in STDIO mode via npm start or in HTTP mode via npm run start:http. Connect using an MCP client (StdioClientTransport or SSEClientTransport) and call tools like listTasks, createTask, updateTask, and deleteTask.

FAQ from Task API Server - MCP TypeScript Implementation
What runtime is required?
Node.js 16.x or higher.
How do I configure the server?
Create a .env file with TASK_MANAGER_API_BASE_URL (required) and TASK_MANAGER_API_KEY (required). Optionally set TASK_MANAGER_HTTP_PORT for the HTTP server (default 3000).
What transport modes are supported?
STDIO mode for command-line and AI agent integration, and HTTP+SSE mode for browser and HTTP-based clients.
Are there tests included?
Yes, run npm test to execute a comprehensive test suite that validates all task operations and automatically shuts down the server.
How does authentication work?
The server uses the TASK_MANAGER_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate requests to the external Task API. No other authentication is implemented.
