MCP server for taskwarrior
Taskwarrior becomes available to MCP clients through the taskwarrior mcp server. MCP server for taskwarrior.
Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for TaskWarrior operations.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 11 tools directly:
get_next_tasks — Get a list of all pending tasksproject — Filter by project nametags — Filter by one or more tagsadd_task — Add a new task to TaskWarriorRequired — - description: Task description textOptional — - due: Due date (ISO timestamp)priority — Priority level ("H", "M", or "L")mark_task_done — Mark a task as completedExecutes — task project:work nextTODO — Call my sister (high priority)Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as mcp-server-taskwarrior, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. Taskwarrior sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — get_next_tasks, project, tags among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
