MCP Tasks 工具

5

Initializes a source from a file path. It must be absolute. Creates file if it does not exist. Returns the source ID for further use

Search tasks from specific statuses with optional text & ID filtering

Add new tasks with a specific status. It's faster and cheaper if you use this in batch, add all at once

Update tasks by ID to a different status. It's faster and cheaper if you use this in batch, update all at once

Get count of tasks in each status and the work-in-progress tasks

概览

What is MCP Tasks?

MCP Tasks is a Model Context Protocol server for task management, designed to work with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. It minimizes tool confusion and maximizes LLM budget efficiency by providing only five tools, batch operations, and smart defaults. It supports Markdown, JSON, and YAML task files and offers powerful search, filtering, and organization capabilities.

How to use MCP Tasks?

Install via npx (npx -y mcp-tasks) or Docker (docker run --rm -i flesler/mcp-tasks). Add the configuration to your MCP client (e.g., Cursor's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json). The server provides five tools: tasks_setup, tasks_search, tasks_add, tasks_update, and tasks_summary. Use environment variables to customize workflow statuses, transport mode, auto-WIP behavior, and more. A CLI is also available for quick task management without an AI client.

Key features of MCP Tasks

  • Ultra‑efficient design with only five tools to reduce AI confusion
  • Budget‑optimized with batch operations and smart defaults
  • Multi‑format support: Markdown, JSON, and YAML task files
  • Powerful case‑insensitive text/status filtering with OR logic
  • Auto‑WIP management that automatically limits work in progress
  • Ultra‑safe: AI cannot rewrite or delete tasks without explicit configuration

Use cases of MCP Tasks

  • Track project tasks and subtasks in a human-readable Markdown file
  • Manage customizable workflow states (To Do, In Progress, Done, etc.)
  • Integrate task management directly into AI-assisted coding sessions
  • Quickly add, search, and update tasks via CLI without interrupting AI operations
  • Maintain a structured task list that persists across sessions and tools

常见问题

1

What file formats does MCP Tasks support?

Markdown (`.md`), JSON (`.json`), and YAML (`.yml`) are supported. The format is auto‑detected from the file extension. Markdown is recommended for human readability.

2

How does auto‑WIP management work?

When `AUTO_WIP` is enabled (default), if a task is moved to the WIP status, all other WIP tasks are moved to To Do. If no WIP task exists, the first To Do task is moved to WIP. This can be disabled by setting `AUTO_WIP=false`.

3

Can the AI delete my tasks?

By default, AI tools can only add and move tasks; they cannot rewrite or delete them. Deletion can be enabled through configuration (e.g., setting `KEEP_DELETED=false` or allowing the `tasks_update` tool to use the “Deleted” status).

4

What transport modes are available?

The server supports `stdio` (default) and `http` transport. Set the `TRANSPORT` environment variable to `http` and optionally change the `PORT` (default 4680) for remote access.

5

How do I add tasks manually while the AI is working?

Use the CLI from a separate terminal: `npx mcp-tasks add "Your task text" "To Do" 0`. This safely adds tasks without interfering with the AI’s use of the tools.
