What is the Plate MCP Server?

Lightweight project management

What the server does

Plate is a lightweight project and task manager built for automation. Plan work, track tasks, and keep projects moving forward with people and AI agents working side by side. This MCP server lets you manage workspaces, projects, and tasks directly from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI client.
