MCP-powered Taskade agent running inside Claude Desktop by Anthropic:

Quick Start

⚡ Prefer a hosted option? https://www.taskade.com/mcp is the OAuth-protected Genesis App MCP — a separate hosted surface from this Workspace MCP server. See its guide to learn what it does and whether it fits your use case. To read and write your workspace content (projects, tasks, agents) as described below, use the Workspace MCP server (this package).

Which Taskade MCP do I want?

Taskade speaks MCP through three surfaces — this repo is the first one:

1. Get Your API Key

Go to Taskade Settings > API and create a Personal Access Token.

2. Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (or Settings → Cascade → MCP → Add Server):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Cline

In VS Code, open the Cline MCP Servers panel → Configure MCP Servers and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

6. VS Code

Add a .vscode/mcp.json to your workspace (VS Code uses the servers key; ${input:…} prompts for your key on first run):

{
  "servers": {
    "taskade": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_KEY": "${input:taskade_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

7. HTTP / SSE Mode (remote & custom clients)

TASKADE_API_KEY=your-api-key npx @taskade/mcp-server --http

The server starts at http://localhost:3000 (configure with PORT env var). Connect via SSE at http://localhost:3000/sse?access_token=your-api-key.
