MCP TaskManager

MCP Task Manager

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for comprehensive task management, deployed as a Cloudflare Worker. This open-source project enables AI assistants to plan, track, and manage complex multi-step requests efficiently with persistent storage using Cloudflare KV.

🚀 Features

Request Planning: Break down complex requests into manageable tasks
Task Management: Create, update, delete, and track task progress
Approval Workflow: Built-in approval system for task and request completion
Progress Tracking: Visual progress tables and detailed task information
Persistent Storage: Uses Cloudflare KV for reliable data persistence
Serverless Architecture: Deployed as a Cloudflare Worker for global availability
RESTful API: HTTP endpoints for easy integration with any application
CORS Support: Cross-origin requests enabled for web applications

📦 Deployment

Prerequisites

Cloudflare account (free tier works)
Wrangler CLI installed
Node.js 18+ and npm/pnpm/yarn
Git for cloning the repository

Quick Start

Clone and setup the repository
git clone https://github.com/Rudra-ravi/mcp-taskmanager.git cd mcp-taskmanager npm install
Login to Cloudflare
npx wrangler login
This will open your browser to authenticate with Cloudflare.
Create KV namespace
npx wrangler kv namespace create "TASKMANAGER_KV"
Copy the namespace ID from the output.
Update configuration Edit wrangler.toml and replace the KV namespace ID:
[[kv_namespaces]] binding = "TASKMANAGER_KV" id = "your-new-kv-namespace-id-here"
Build and deploy
npm run build npx wrangler deploy

Your MCP Task Manager will be deployed and accessible at: https://mcp-taskmanager.your-subdomain.workers.dev

Advanced Configuration

Custom Worker Name

To deploy with a custom name, update wrangler.toml:

name = "my-custom-taskmanager"  # Change this to your preferred name
main = "worker.ts"
compatibility_date = "2024-03-12"

[build]
command = "npm run build"

[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "TASKMANAGER_KV"
id = "your-kv-namespace-id-here"

Environment Variables

For different environments (development, staging, production):

[env.staging]
name = "mcp-taskmanager-staging"
[[env.staging.kv_namespaces]]
binding = "TASKMANAGER_KV"
id = "staging-kv-namespace-id"

[env.production]
name = "mcp-taskmanager-prod"
[[env.production.kv_namespaces]]
binding = "TASKMANAGER_KV"
id = "production-kv-namespace-id"

Deploy to specific environments:

npx wrangler deploy --env staging
npx wrangler deploy --env production

🔧 Usage

API Endpoints

The deployed worker provides two main endpoints:

POST /list-tools - Get available MCP tools
POST /call-tool - Execute MCP tool functions

Testing Your Deployment

After deployment, test your worker with curl:

# Replace with your actual worker URL
WORKER_URL="https://mcp-taskmanager.your-subdomain.workers.dev"

# Test list tools
curl -X POST $WORKER_URL/list-tools \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}'

# Test creating a request
curl -X POST $WORKER_URL/call-tool \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "request_planning",
      "arguments": {
        "originalRequest": "Test deployment",
        "tasks": [{"title": "Test task", "description": "Verify deployment works"}]
      }
    }
  }'

📊 Data Model

Task Structure

interface Task {
  id: string;              // Unique task identifier (e.g., "task-1")
  title: string;           // Task title
  description: string;     // Detailed task description
  done: boolean;           // Whether task is marked as done
  approved: boolean;       // Whether task completion is approved
  completedDetails: string; // Details provided when marking task as done
}

Request Structure

interface RequestEntry {
  requestId: string;       // Unique request identifier (e.g., "req-1")
  originalRequest: string; // Original user request description
  splitDetails: string;    // Details about how request was split into tasks
  tasks: Task[];          // Array of tasks for this request
  completed: boolean;     // Whether entire request is completed
}

Task Status Flow

❌ Pending → ⏳ Done (awaiting approval) → ✅ Approved

Tasks can only be updated when in "Pending" status. Once marked as done or approved, they become read-only.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue	Cause	Solution
500 Internal Server Error	KV namespace not found	Check KV namespace ID in wrangler.toml
CORS errors	Missing headers	Verify CORS headers in worker.ts
Task not found	Invalid task/request ID	Check ID format and existence
Build failures	TypeScript errors	Run `npm run build` locally first
