The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read and manage your tasks directly from the chat interface.
1
Add to your Claude Desktop config
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add:
2
Restart Claude Desktop
After saving the config, fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop. The Task Manager tool will appear in the MCP tools list.
3
Try it
In Claude Desktop, try: "Show me my tasks" or "Add a task: Review Q2 roadmap, high priority"
Note: The MCP server communicates with the Task Manager app via a local API — the app must be running for MCP tools to work. No internet connection required. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
