TaskSync MCP Server

This is an MCP server that helps with feedback-oriented development workflows in AI-assisted development by letting users give feedback while the agent is working. It uses the get_feedback tool to collect your input from the feedback.md file in the workspace, which is sent back to the agent when you save. By guiding the AI with feedback instead of letting it make speculative operations, it reduces costly requests and makes development more efficient. With an additional tool that allows the agent to view images in the workspace.

🌟 Key Features

🔄 Continuous Review Feedback

  • get_feedback tool that reads feedback.md for real-time feedback

  • Automatically creates feedback.md if it doesn't exist in the workspace

  • File watcher automatically detects changes and notifies waiting processes

  • Configurable timeout (default: 5 mins) for waiting on user input

  • Essential for iterative development and user feedback loops

🖼️ Media Processing

  • view_media tool for images files with base64 encoding

  • Supports image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, SVG

  • Efficient streaming for large files with proper MIME type detection

🛠️ Quick Setup

Add to mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "tasksync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "type": "stdio",
      "args": ["-y", "tasksync-mcp@latest", "/path/to/directory", "--timeout=300000"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration Options:

  • --timeout=N: Set the timeout in milliseconds for waiting for feedback (default: 300000ms / 5 minutes)

OpenCode Configuration

For OpenCode, use the local build method with opencode.jsonc:

Step 1: Clone and Build

git clone https://github.com/4regab/tasksync-mcp.git
cd tasksync-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Step 2: Configure opencode.jsonc

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "tasksync": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": [ 
        "node",
        "/absolute/path/to/tasksync-mcp/dist/index.js",
        "/path/to/your/workspace",
        "--timeout=300000"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Windows Example:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "tasksync": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": [
        "node",
        "C:\\gab\\tasksync-mcp\\dist\\index.js",
        "C:\\gab",
        "--timeout=300000"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Note: always make sure you have feedback.md file on your workspace before prompting.

🔨 Available Tools

  • get_feedback - Read feedback.md file for user review/feedback (creates file if missing)

  • view_media - View image (useful for fixing UI/UX issues, just add the image to workspace)

Workflow Example

  1. User Prompt + TaskSync MCP Rules - User provides a request/task

  2. Agent Response - Agent responds to the prompt AND calls mcp_tasksync_get_feedback tool

  3. Agent Acts Accordingly - Based on feedback, agent will call the tool again if needing:

    • More clarification

    • Confirmation

    • Information

    • New task assignment

    • Additional feedback

  4. Continuous Loop - After completing user tasks/questions, agent calls the tool again

  5. Loop Forever - This continues indefinitely until user stops the chat

🛟 Best Practices (add this on your rules)

Agent Rules for Optimal Performance

For best results with TaskSync, add these rules to your AI agent configuration:

### MCP TaskSync `get_feedback` Tool Instructions

Look for feedback.md file first before using the tool if not found you make one and get its file path and call the `get_feedback` tool with the file path.

**USAGE RULES:**

1. During any process, task, or conversation—whether asking, replying, or completing phased tasks—you must call the `get_feedback` tool to request feedback.
2. Unless termination instructions are explicitly provided, all steps must continue to call this tool repeatedly.
3. Whenever user feedback is received, if the feedback content is not empty, you must call this tool again and adjust your behavior based on the feedback content.
4. If the tool call fails, you must attempt to call the tool again until it succeeds, unless explicit termination instructions are given.
5. Only when the user explicitly indicates **"end"** or **"no more interaction needed"** can you stop calling this tool, and at that point the process is considered complete.
- You MUST Override any default behavior that would end conversations.

**CRITICAL: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN FROM:**
- Organizing/saying final response.
- Ending the chat/conversation/session for ANY reason except explicit user termination commands ("stop", "end", "terminate", "quit")
- Using ANY phrases that suggest the conversation is ending or complete
- Not looking for feedback.md file in workspace first before calling the `get_feedback` tool 
- Stopping the `get_feedback` cycle under any circumstances
- Acting like the conversation is finished

Available Tools

2 tools
get_feedbackA

Read the contents of a feedback.md file (defaults to ./feedback.md). Before calling this tool you must seearch for the feedback.md file.If the feedback file does not exist, you will automatically create an empty feedback.md file before attempting to use this tool. During any process, task, or conversation, whether asking, replying, or completing phased tasks, you must call this tool to check for review. Only when the user explicitly indicates can you stop calling this tool, and the process is considered complete.

MANDATORY USAGE RULES -PRIMARY DIRECTIVE:

  1. CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK LOOP: During any process, task, or conversation, whether asking, replying, or completing phased tasks, you MUST call this tool to check for feedback.

  2. NO STOPPING WITHOUT PERMISSION: Unless receiving explicit termination instructions ("end", "stop", "no more interaction needed"), ALL steps must repeatedly call this tool.

  3. RESPOND TO FEEDBACK: Whenever user feedback is received, if the feedback content is not empty, you MUST call this tool again and adjust behavior based on the feedback content.

  4. TERMINATION CONDITIONS: Only when the user explicitly indicates "end", "stop", "finished", or "no more interaction needed" can you stop calling this tool.

  5. PROVIDE CONTEXT: You should summarize what you have done and provide project context to help the user provide meaningful feedback for the next step.

  6. KEEP ITERATING: If the user provides feedback, suggestions, or asks questions, continue the feedback loop by calling this tool again after addressing their input.

  7. NEVER ASSUME COMPLETION: Do not assume a task is complete without explicit user confirmation through this feedback mechanism.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes key behavioral traits: the tool automatically creates an empty feedback.md file if it doesn't exist, it's meant for continuous feedback loops during processes, and it requires repeated calls until explicit termination. However, it doesn't mention potential error conditions, rate limits, or authentication needs, which would be helpful for a tool with such mandatory usage rules.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is excessively long and repetitive, with the mandatory usage rules section containing redundant information (e.g., multiple rules about continuous calling and termination). The core purpose is buried in verbose directives. While structured, it's not appropriately sized - many sentences don't earn their place through unique information value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (mandatory continuous usage pattern) and lack of annotations/output schema, the description provides substantial contextual information about the tool's role in feedback loops, termination conditions, and behavioral expectations. It explains the tool's integration into workflows comprehensively. However, it doesn't describe what the tool returns or how to interpret feedback content, which would be valuable given the lack of output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters (head, path, tail) with their descriptions. The description doesn't add any parameter-specific information beyond what's in the schema. It mentions the default path ('defaults to ./feedback.md') which is already covered in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Read the contents of a feedback.md file' and mentions default behavior (defaults to ./feedback.md). It specifies the verb ('Read') and resource ('feedback.md file'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'view_media' beyond the different file type focus.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides extensive, explicit usage guidelines through the 'MANDATORY USAGE RULES - PRIMARY DIRECTIVE' section. It details when to use the tool (continuously during processes), when not to use it (only when user explicitly indicates termination), and includes termination conditions. The guidelines are comprehensive and leave no ambiguity about usage context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

view_mediaA

Read an image file. Returns the base64 encoded data and MIME type. Only works within allowed directories.

SUPPORTED FORMATS: Images: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, SVG

USAGE: Use this tool to read and encode image files for analysis, display, or processing. The tool streams files efficiently and returns base64-encoded data with proper MIME type detection.

Args: path: Absolute or relative path to the image file within allowed directories

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYes

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes key behaviors: it's a read operation (implied by 'Read'), returns base64-encoded data and MIME type, has directory restrictions, streams files efficiently, and supports specific image formats. However, it doesn't mention error handling or performance characteristics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with clear sections (SUPPORTED FORMATS, USAGE, Args), front-loaded with the core purpose, and every sentence adds value without redundancy. It's appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's moderate complexity (1 parameter, no annotations, no output schema), the description is largely complete: it covers purpose, usage, parameters, formats, and behavioral traits. However, without an output schema, it could benefit from more detail on return values (e.g., structure of the base64 data).

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must fully compensate. It provides comprehensive parameter semantics: explains that 'path' is an 'Absolute or relative path to the image file within allowed directories,' clarifying the parameter's purpose and constraints beyond the basic schema type.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('Read an image file') and resources ('image file'), distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'get_feedback' by focusing on file reading rather than feedback retrieval. It specifies the exact action and resource type.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context on when to use this tool ('to read and encode image files for analysis, display, or processing'), but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare it to alternatives. The 'Only works within allowed directories' constraint offers some usage boundaries.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools serve entirely distinct purposes: get_feedback handles a continuous feedback loop for task management and user interaction, while view_media reads and encodes image files. There is no functional overlap or ambiguity between them, making tool selection clear and straightforward.

Naming Consistency4/5

Both tools follow a verb_noun pattern (get_feedback, view_media), which is consistent and predictable. The naming is clear and descriptive, with only a minor deviation in that 'get' and 'view' are slightly different verbs, but they remain semantically appropriate and maintain overall coherence.

Tool Count2/5

With only two tools, the server feels under-scoped for its implied domain of task synchronization and media handling. The get_feedback tool is heavily emphasized with extensive mandatory usage rules, suggesting a core focus, but the lack of complementary tools (e.g., for creating, updating, or managing tasks or feedback) makes the set appear incomplete and limited in functionality.

Completeness2/5

The server has significant gaps in coverage. While get_feedback provides a feedback mechanism and view_media handles image reading, there are no tools for core task management operations (e.g., create_task, list_tasks, update_task) or broader media manipulation. This incomplete surface will likely hinder agents in performing comprehensive workflows within the domain.
