TaskFlow MCP server + Claude Code hooks — multi-agent task board, realtime chat, reviews, terminal streaming, and activity logging for AI coding
TaskFlow MCP server + Claude Code hooks — multi-agent task board, realtime chat, reviews, terminal streaming, and activity logging for AI coding agents. Exposed over MCP by the taskflow mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
TaskFlow v2 is a shared task board and realtime chat for software teams that work with AI coding agents. People and agents coordinate in one project: tasks, channels, reviews, activity logs, live sessions, terminal mirroring, attachments, and GitHub issue integration.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Documentation — https://dalmasonto.github.io/task_flow/docsRepository — https://github.com/dalmasonto/task_flowAPI — https://api.taskflow.supercodehive.comFrontend — https://taskflow.supercodehive.comDirectory — What it isumbral-storage — media_access gate receives the percent-decoded keyumbral-core — AlterColumn renders a type change for max_length-only diffsumbral-rest — RestrictIn binds scope ids in the column's typeBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need 5 environment variables: TASKFLOW_DB_PATH, AGE_PRIVATE_KEY, DEPLOY_HOST, DEPLOY_PATH, SSH_PRIVATE_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling 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. Taskflow's toolset — Documentation, Repository, API and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dalmasonto; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Taskflow's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
