Task Queue MCP Server
If you already use Taskqueue, the taskqueue mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Task Queue MCP Server.
MCP Task Manager (npm package: taskqueue-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI task management. This tool helps AI assistants handle multi-step tasks in a structured way, with optional user approval checkpoints.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
list_projects — Lists all projects in the systemread_project — Gets details about a specific projectcreate_project — Creates a new project with initial tasksdelete_project — Removes a projectadd_tasks_to_project — Adds new tasks to an existing projectfinalize_project — Finalizes a project after all tasks are donelist_tasks — Lists all tasks for a specific projectread_task — Gets details of a specific taskcreate_task — Creates a new task in a projectupdate_task — Modifies a task's properties (title, description, status)delete_task — Removes a task from a projectapprove_task — Approves a completed taskConfiguration is passed through the environment: OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on npm as taskqueue, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Taskqueue's toolset — list_projects, read_project, create_project and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by chriscarrollsmith; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
