What is the Gorev MCP server?

Gorev MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Gorev directly instead of describing what you should do. Documentation and quality tools for Gorev project.

What you get

Gorev is a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in Go that provides task management capabilities to all MCP-compatible AI editors (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor, Zed, etc.). It combines project management, task tracking, and organization needs with the power of AI assistants to boost your productivity.

  • 🗂️ Multi-Workspace Support - Managing multiple projects
  • 📋 Template System - Structured task creation
  • 🤖 AI Context Management - AI assistant integration

What the assistant can call

Once Gorev is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Type-Safe — 100% TypeScript with zero parsing errors
  • Faster — Direct HTTP calls vs. stdio + markdown parsing
  • Features — The Features tool exposed by this server
  • Reference — The Reference tool exposed by this server
  • Development — The Development tool exposed by this server
  • Requirements — The Requirements tool exposed by this server
  • Commands — The Commands tool exposed by this server

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: GOREV_LANG. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Go 1.23+ - Make (optional) - golangci-lint (for code quality)

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @mehmetsenol/gorev-mcp-server on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Choosing this one

Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Gorev's toolset — Type-Safe, Faster, Features and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by msenol; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the gorev mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions
