Overview

The MCP Server for TaskWarrior is a Node.js server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for TaskWarrior operations. It allows users to interact with their TaskWarrior tasks through a network interface. The server can be used to view pending tasks, filter tasks by project and tags, add new tasks, and mark tasks as complete. The server relies on the local TaskWarrior binary, so TaskWarrior must be installed and configured on the system. A notable limitation is that the server currently uses task IDs, which are unstable and may change when new tasks are added or removed; future versions should use task UUIDs instead.

Q&A

What limitation should I be aware of regarding task identifiers?

The server currently uses TaskWarrior’s numeric task IDs, which are unstable and can change when tasks are added or removed; future versions aim to switch to stable UUIDs.

Can I filter tasks by project or tags via the API?

Yes. The get_next_tasks endpoint accepts optional project and tags parameters, letting you retrieve pending tasks that match a specific project name or one or more tags.

How can I integrate the MCP server with Claude Desktop?

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers with the command npx and args ["-y", "mcp", "server", "taskwarrior"]. Claude Desktop will then be able to call the TaskWarrior MCP endpoints.

Asked by Adaeze Uche · Jan 29, 2026

Do I need to install anything besides the MCP server to use it?

Yes. The server runs the local TaskWarrior binary, so you must have TaskWarrior installed and configured on the same machine where the MCP server runs.
