Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@agent-gantt Create a project 'Website Redesign' with tasks: design, develop, test."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
agent-gantt is a dependency-free Model Context Protocol server for maintaining small project plans that AI agents can render as Gantt charts. State lives in SQLite and the server communicates over MCP stdio.
Projects, tasks, assignees, status, progress, and date ranges.
Explicit same-project task dependencies; nonexistent tasks and dependency cycles are rejected.
Gantt-friendly project view with tasks and dependency edges.
Python 3.9+ and its standard library only. No package installation or network service is required.

Requires Python 3.9+ and uv. Register the package directly from GitHub with the MCP client’s normal stdio configuration. The first launch installs the package in an isolated environment; no repository checkout or custom installer is needed.

To share a database across clients, add AGENT_GANTT_DB to that server’s MCP env configuration (or use the client CLI’s environment option).
create_project, list_projects
create_task, update_task
add_dependency
project_view returns all tasks and dependency edges in a Gantt-friendly structure.
Dates are ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Valid status values are todo, in_progress, blocked, and done.
The repository contains no project, task, or timeline data. At runtime, data is written to ~/.local/state/agent-gantt/projects.sqlite3 by default; it is intentionally ignored by Git. Treat that database as sensitive if it contains planning information. Set AGENT_GANTT_DB to choose another durable location.
