Taskade MCP Server

Connect Taskade to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any other client of the Model Context Protocol.

Hosted server: https://www.taskade.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth). Nothing to install.

This repo holds two packages:

MCP Server (@taskade/mcp-server): the local stdio server, for clients that cannot connect to a remote server.
OpenAPI Codegen: generate MCP tools from any OpenAPI spec, not only Taskade.

MCP-powered Taskade agent running inside Claude Desktop by Anthropic:

Taskade MCP Demo: AI agent managing tasks and projects in Claude Desktop

Build Agents via MCP	Automate Workflows	Manage Projects

Create, train, deploy AI agents from Claude/Cursor	Build multi-step automations across 100+ services	Full workspace management from your AI assistant (paid plans)

Quick Start: hosted server


URL	`https://www.taskade.com/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Auth	OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Your client opens a Taskade sign-in page once.
Plan	MCP access is part of every paid Taskade plan (Starter and up). On the Free plan, `list_spaces` returns no workspaces.
Discovery	`https://www.taskade.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp`

An initialize request without a token returns 401 on purpose. The 401 tells your client where to start the OAuth sign-in.

Claude (web, Desktop and mobile)

In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors and select Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner first adds the connector in Organization settings > Connectors (Add, then Custom).
Enter the name Taskade and the URL https://www.taskade.com/mcp, then select Add.
Select Connect, sign in to Taskade, and approve access.
In a chat, select + > Connectors and turn on Taskade.

If the dialog asks for an OAuth client, select Register automatically. The connector also works in Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps on the same account.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http taskade https://www.taskade.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and select taskade to sign in.

Cursor

Select Add to Cursor at the top of this page, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "url": "https://www.taskade.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Select Install in VS Code at the top of this page, or run:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"taskade","type":"http","url":"https://www.taskade.com/mcp"}'

Windsurf

Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "serverUrl": "https://www.taskade.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other clients and servers (API token)

A client that cannot do OAuth can send a Taskade personal access token as a Bearer token. Create the token in Taskade Settings > API.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.taskade.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TASKADE_API_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Full guide: Hosted Taskade MCP.

Hosted tools (48)

Every hosted tool declares MCP tool annotations. Claude can run a read-only tool without a confirmation, and it asks before a tool that deletes or replaces data.

Area	Read-only tools	Write tools
Workspaces	`list_spaces`, `list_folders`, `list_media`, `list_templates`, `inspect_space`, `list_automations`	`write_file` (Genesis app source in `app/`)
Projects	`list_projects`, `list_my_projects`, `get_project`, `read_project`, `list_fields`, `list_blocks`, `list_project_members`, `get_share_link`	`create_project`, `create_project_from_template`, `copy_project`, `complete_project`, `restore_project`, `enable_share_link`
Tasks	`list_tasks`	`create_task`, `update_task`, `complete_task`, `uncomplete_task`, `delete_task`, `move_task`, `set_task_note`, `delete_task_note`, `set_task_date`, `delete_task_date`, `assign_task`, `unassign_task`, `set_task_field_value`, `delete_task_field_value`
AI agents	`list_agents`, `get_agent`, `list_conversations`, `get_conversation`	`create_agent`, `update_agent`, `delete_agent`, `prompt_agent`, `add_knowledge_project`, `remove_knowledge_project`, `add_knowledge_media`, `remove_knowledge_media`

The server also serves the resource taskade://getting-started, a short guide for the model.

Example prompts

Weekly review. "List my Taskade workspaces, read the Q4 Roadmap project, and give me the open tasks grouped by assignee." Tools: list_spaces, list_projects, read_project.
Plan a launch. "Create a project called Website Launch in my Marketing workspace with tasks for copy, design, QA and launch day, and set the launch task to November 3." Tools: list_spaces, create_project, create_task, set_task_date.
Build a support agent. "Create an agent called Help Bot in my Support workspace, add the FAQ project as its knowledge, then ask it how a customer resets a password." Tools: create_agent, add_knowledge_project, prompt_agent.
Close out a sprint. "In the Sprint 42 project, mark every task that mentions 'shipped' as complete, then mark the project as completed." Tools: list_tasks, complete_task, complete_project.
Edit a Genesis app. "In my CRM app, read app/src/App.tsx and change the page title to Acme CRM." Tools: inspect_space, write_file.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause and fix
`401 Unauthorized` on the first request	Expected. Your client must start the OAuth sign-in. If it does not, update the client or use an API token (see above).
`list_spaces` returns no workspaces	MCP access needs a paid plan on that workspace. Upgrade at taskade.com/pricing.
A tool returns "permission denied"	Your role in that workspace or project does not allow the action. Ask a workspace owner for access.
Claude shows "Authorization with the MCP server failed"	Remove the connector, add it again, and sign in to the correct Taskade account.
A local `npx` server fails with "TASKADE_API_KEY appears to be invalid"	Create a new token in Settings > API.

If the problem continues, open an issue or email [email protected].

Local package (stdio)

Use the local package when your client supports only stdio servers, or when you need a tool that only the local package has, for example the webhook tools (subscribeWebhook, unsubscribeWebhook). It runs on your machine with npx and calls the Taskade public API over the network with a personal access token.

I want to...	Use	Where / auth
Use Taskade from Claude, Cursor, VS Code or another client that supports remote servers	Hosted server	`https://www.taskade.com/mcp` · OAuth 2.0 or API token · paid plans
Run Taskade tools in a client that supports only stdio, or use the webhook tools	Local package (`@taskade/mcp-server`)	`npx` · personal access token · needs network access to taskade.com
Let my Taskade agents reach Slack, Shopify or Gmail	MCP Connectors	Hosted, in the Taskade app

1. Get Your API Key

Go to Taskade Settings > API and create a Personal Access Token.

2. Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (or Settings → Cascade → MCP → Add Server):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Cline

In VS Code, open the Cline MCP Servers panel → Configure MCP Servers and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

6. VS Code

Add a .vscode/mcp.json to your workspace (VS Code uses the servers key; ${input:…} prompts for your key on first run):

{
  "servers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "${input:taskade_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

7. Remote and HTTP clients

The local package runs over stdio only. It has no HTTP or SSE mode. For a client that connects over HTTP, use the hosted server at https://www.taskade.com/mcp (see Quick Start: hosted server).

Why Taskade MCP?

Taskade MCP gives your AI assistant access to your workspace — projects, tasks, agents, knowledge bases, templates, and automations (on paid plans; some endpoints such as workspace listing are gated for free accounts). Instead of writing API code, describe what you need in natural language.

What You Say	What Happens
"Show me all overdue tasks"	Reads projects → filters tasks → formats report
"Create a support agent trained on our docs"	Creates agent → attaches knowledge → publishes
"Set up next week's sprint from our template"	Copies template → populates tasks → assigns team
"Summarize yesterday's completed work"	Reads task history → generates standup summary

Why MCP Instead of REST API?

	REST API	MCP Server
Setup	Write HTTP client, handle auth, parse JSON	`npx @taskade/mcp-server` — one command
Interface	Code against endpoints	Natural language — describe what you need
Chaining	Manual orchestration	AI chains tools intelligently
Error handling	Write error handling code	AI interprets errors and retries

Why Taskade MCP Over Other MCP Servers?

Taskade is the only MCP server that includes AI agent management (create, train, deploy agents), knowledge base training (attach docs, projects, media), and OpenAPI codegen (generate MCP tools from any API spec). 62 tools across 8 categories.

Agent Recipes

Problem: Team standup notes scattered across Slack, email, and docs.

You: "Check my Taskade workspace for yesterday's completed tasks,
      summarize them as a standup update, then create today's
      priority tasks based on what's still open."

Claude uses:
  1. meProjectsGet → find your active projects
  2. projectTasksGet → pull tasks from each project
  3. taskCreate → create today's priority tasks

Result: A formatted standup summary + fresh task list in Taskade.

Problem: You have docs scattered across files and need an AI agent trained on them.

You: "Create an AI support agent called 'Help Bot' in my
      Customer Success folder, train it on our Documentation
      project, and publish it publicly."

Claude uses:
  1. workspaceFoldersGet → find "Customer Success" folder
  2. folderCreateAgent → create "Help Bot" with support instructions
  3. agentKnowledgeProjectCreate → attach Documentation project
  4. agentPublicAccessEnable → publish with shareable link

Result: Live AI chatbot trained on your docs, ready to embed.

Problem: Creating sprint projects manually every two weeks.

You: "Create a new sprint project from our 'Sprint Template',
      name it 'Sprint 2026-W15', move the top 10 backlog
      items into it, and assign them to the engineering team."

Claude uses:
  1. folderProjectTemplatesGet → find "Sprint Template"
  2. projectFromTemplate → create "Sprint 2026-W15"
  3. projectTasksGet → get backlog items
  4. taskMove → move top 10 tasks to new sprint
  5. taskPutAssignees → assign engineering team members

Result: Sprint ready to go, fully populated and assigned.

Problem: You need an agent that monitors competitors and reports findings.

You: "Generate an AI agent that researches our top 5 competitors.
      Train it on our Competitive Analysis project.
      Name it 'Market Intel Agent'."

Claude uses:
  1. folderAgentGenerate → generate agent from research prompt
  2. agentKnowledgeProjectCreate → connect Competitive Analysis project
  3. agentUpdate → refine instructions for research cadence

Result: AI research agent with domain knowledge, ready for briefings.

Problem: Each new client needs the same project structure, tasks, and materials.

You: "For our new client Acme Corp: create a project from
      the 'Client Onboarding' template, add tasks for
      kickoff meeting and SOW review, set due dates for
      the next 2 weeks, then share the project link."

Claude uses:
  1. projectFromTemplate → create "Acme Corp Onboarding"
  2. taskCreate → add kickoff, requirements, SOW tasks
  3. taskPutDate → set dates across next 2 weeks
  4. projectShareLinkEnable → generate share link

Result: Client onboarding project live and shareable in 30 seconds.

Use Cases

Project Management with AI

Ask your AI assistant to manage your Taskade workspace:

"Show me all my projects and their status"
"Create a new project called Q1 Planning with tasks for each team"
"Move all overdue tasks to the Backlog project"
"Set due dates for all tasks in the Sprint project"

AI Agent Creation

Build and deploy AI agents directly from your editor:

"Create an AI agent called Customer Support Bot with knowledge from our docs project"
"Generate an agent for code review using this prompt: ..."
"Publish my agent publicly and give me the share link"
"Add our API documentation project as knowledge to the agent"

Template Workflows

Automate project creation from templates:

"List all templates in my workspace"
"Create 5 new client onboarding projects from the Client Template"
"Copy the Sprint Retrospective project for this week"

OpenAPI Codegen

Use our generator to build MCP tools from any OpenAPI spec — not just Taskade.

npm install --save-dev @taskade/mcp-openapi-codegen @readme/openapi-parser

import { dereference } from '@readme/openapi-parser';
import { codegen } from '@taskade/mcp-openapi-codegen';

const document = await dereference('your-api-spec.yaml');

await codegen({
  path: 'src/tools.generated.ts',
  document,
});

Works with any OpenAPI 3.0+ spec. Generate MCP tools for your own APIs in minutes.

Privacy & Security

Hosted server. Taskade runs it on www.taskade.com. It reads and writes only the workspaces that your Taskade account can access and that are on a paid plan. The server does not read your chat history with the AI client. prompt_agent runs a Taskade agent, which can use its own tools, for example web search.
Local package. Your API token authorizes the server to call the Taskade public API (https://www.taskade.com/api/v1 and https://www.taskade.com/api/v2) on your behalf. The package sends your data to no other service. Keep the token in an environment variable, and never commit it.
