TaskWarrior MCP Server
local-only server
The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.
Integrations
Allows interaction with TaskWarrior, providing tools for viewing pending tasks, filtering tasks by project and tags, adding new tasks with descriptions and metadata, and marking tasks as complete.
TaskWarrior MCP Server
Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for TaskWarrior operations.
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.
