Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it, filling in the environment variables with your own values.
Restart the agent — the "Taskade MCP Server" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@taskade/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_TOKEN": "your_personal_access_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add taskade-mcp-server -e TASKADE_API_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token -- npx -y @taskade/mcp-server

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

  "mcpServers": {
    "taskade-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@taskade/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TASKADE_API_TOKEN": "your_personal_access_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Description

The Taskade MCP Server is Taskade's open-source Model Context Protocol server, exposing more than 50 tools for working with a Taskade workspace. An agent can create and organize projects, add and complete tasks, read and update project content, manage workspace and folder structure, and trigger Taskade's own AI agents and automation flows.

Because it wraps Taskade's public API, an agent in your editor can keep a shared project plan in sync with the work it is actually doing, rather than you transcribing status by hand.

It runs locally over stdio via npx @taskade/mcp-server and authenticates with a personal access token, so it works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. It is MIT-licensed and available on every Taskade plan, including free.
