What is the Task MCP server?

Task-Master MCP - Project Planning and Task Management System for Augment Code. That is what the task mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Task-Master MCP is a Master Control Program for Augment Code that provides project planning and task management capabilities. It generates and manages project plans in a standardized format (TASK.mdc), tracks task progress, and helps resume work on projects efficiently.

  • Project Initialization — Automatically generate a structured project plan based on requirements
  • Task Management — Track task status, add new tasks, and update existing ones
  • Progress Tracking — Monitor project progress and task completion
  • Project Resumption — Easily resume work on a project by identifying the next tasks to tackle
  • Markdown-based — Uses a simple TASK.mdc file format that's both human and machine-readable

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npx 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.

How it compares

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by keruru-amuri; 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.

Things to watch

  • 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.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How to install the Task MCP server

}

Add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Task to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Task directly.
