MCP TaskManager

Model Context Protocol server for Task Management. This allows Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to manage and execute tasks in a queue-based system.

Quick Start (For Users)

Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ (install via brew install node) - Claude Desktop (install from https://claude.ai/desktop)

Configuration

1. Open your Claude Desktop configuration file at:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

You can find this through the Claude Desktop menu:
1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Click Claude on the Mac menu bar
3. Click "Settings"
4. Click "Developer"

2. Add the following to your configuration:

{
  "tools": {
    "taskmanager": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kazuph/mcp-taskmanager"]
    }
  }
}

For Developers

Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ (install via brew install node) - Claude Desktop (install from https://claude.ai/desktop) - tsx (install via npm install -g tsx)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/kazuph/mcp-taskmanager.git
cd mcp-taskmanager
npm install
npm run build

Development Configuration

1. Make sure Claude Desktop is installed and running.

2. Install tsx globally if you haven't:

npm install -g tsx

or


pnpm add -g tsx

3. Modify your Claude Desktop config located at:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following to your MCP client's configuration:

{
  "tools": {
    "taskmanager": {
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/mcp-taskmanager/index.ts"]
    }
  }
}

Available Operations

The TaskManager supports two main phases of operation:

Planning Phase

- Accepts a task list (array of strings) from the user - Stores tasks internally as a queue - Returns an execution plan (task overview, task ID, current queue status)

Execution Phase

- Returns the next task from the queue when requested - Provides feedback mechanism for task completion - Removes completed tasks from the queue - Prepares the next task for execution

Parameters

- action: "plan" | "execute" | "complete"
- tasks: Array of task strings (required for "plan" action)
- taskId: Task identifier (required for "complete" action)
- getNext: Boolean flag to request next task (for "execute" action)

Example Usage

// Planning phase
{
  action: "plan",
  tasks: ["Task 1", "Task 2", "Task 3"]
}
// Execution phase

{

  action: "execute",

  getNext: true

}
// Complete task

{

  action: "complete",

  taskId: "task-123"

}
