Implementation Reference
- server.py:77-80 (handler)MCP tool handler function for 'create_subtasks', registered via @mcp.tool() decorator. Delegates to TaskService.create_subtasks.
@mcp.tool() async def create_subtasks(task_id: str, subtasks: list[dict[str, Any]]) -> dict[str, Any]: """Create multiple subtasks for a parent task with categories.""" return service.create_subtasks(task_id, subtasks) - Core implementation of create_subtasks in TaskService class. Validates parent task, sets parent_id on each subtask, calls add_task to create them, and returns subtask IDs.
