About TaskWarrior MCP Server

What is TaskWarrior MCP Server: Mirrored Team Sync & Priority Mastery?

Imagine a digital butler who juggle tasks with the precision of a caffeinated octopus—that's TaskWarrior MCP Server. This Node.js marvel isn’t just another task manager; it’s a synchronized chaos-prevention system for teams that believe "multitasking" is a myth invented by overachievers. By harnessing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it keeps your task data in a state of existential harmony across devices, like a digital ouija board for productivity.

How to use TaskWarrior MCP Server: Mirrored Team Sync & Priority Mastery?

Installation is as simple as convincing a toddler to nap: run npm install -g mcp-server-taskwarrior, then sprinkle some JSON wizardry into your claude_desktop_config.json. To summon its powers, invoke it with npx like a task management incantation. Just remember: TaskWarrior itself must already be installed—think of it as the spiritual battery pack for this MCP marvel.

TaskWarrior MCP Server Features

Key Features of TaskWarrior MCP Server: Mirrored Team Sync & Priority Mastery?

  • Pending Task Crystal Ball: Gaze into the abyss of upcoming tasks with get_next_tasks, optionally filtered by projects that sound like secret societal clubs (e.g., "Project: World Domination").
  • Task Alchemy: Conjure new tasks with add_task, bestowing upon them mystical properties like due dates (in ISO format, because ISO is the real MVP) and priorities that range from "High" (panic mode) to "Low" (maybe next decade?).
  • Completion Sorcery: Annihilate tasks with a single mark_task_done spell, but beware—the server currently trusts task IDs which vanish like soap in a public shower. UUIDs are on standby in the "future improvements" dimension.

Use cases of TaskWarrior MCP Server: Mirrored Team Sync & Priority Mastery?

  • Team Brainstorming: "What are my current work tasks?" becomes a group meditation session powered by real-time task mirroring—no more 17 versions of "urgent" tasks floating in Slack.
  • Priority Panic Button: Tagging "Call my sister (high priority)" ensures she doesn’t start a Facebook reunion group without you.
  • Task Necromancy: After marking tasks as done, watch them vanish like confetti at a corporate retreat—until the UUID update arrives.

TaskWarrior MCP Server FAQ

FAQ from TaskWarrior MCP Server: Mirrored Team Sync & Priority Mastery?

  • Why use task IDs if they’re unstable? Think of it as beta testing for time travelers. UUID support is in development, currently racing against our cat’s nap schedule.
  • Can I sync with my toaster? Technically, yes—if your toaster runs Node.js and has existential crisis about task deadlines.
  • Does it handle project names like "Project: Existential Crisis Management"? Absolutely! We prefer projects with character. Just keep them lowercase-with-dots like project:life.goals.

TaskWarrior Server MCP server

Features

  • View pending tasks
  • Filter tasks by project and tags
  • Add new tasks with descriptions, due dates, priorities, projects and tags
  • Mark tasks as complete

Note : This runs your local task binary, so TaskWarrior needs to be installed and configured!

[!WARNING] This currently uses task id which is an unstable identifier; taskwarrior sometimes renumbers tasks when new ones are added or removed. In the future this should be more careful, using task UUID instead.
