Server: TaskFlow MCP

Author: @Aekkaratjerasuk -------> Change to @pinkpixel

My npm package is @pinkpixel-dev/taskflow-mcp

I made this server - it has a ton of configuration options and things that aren't the page and it has a schema to install. I'd like to claim it so I can update all of that information.

Here is the link to my original repository:
https://github.com/pinkpixel-dev/taskflow-mcp

And I am attaching the actual readme with all the configuration options, schema, the npx commmand to run the server remotely that links to my npmjs package, and all the tool parameters and instructions.

TaskFlow MCP 🔄✅

A task management Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for planning and executing tasks with AI assistants.

🌟 Overview

TaskFlow MCP is a specialized server that helps AI assistants break down user requests into manageable tasks and track their completion. It enforces a structured workflow with user approval steps to ensure tasks are properly tracked and users maintain control over the process.

✨ Features

• 📋 Task Planning: Break down complex requests into manageable tasks
• 🔍 Subtasks: Divide tasks into smaller, more manageable subtasks
• 📊 Progress Tracking: Track the status of tasks, subtasks, and requests with visual progress tables
• 👍 User Approval: Enforce user approval steps to ensure quality and control
• 💾 Persistence: Save tasks and requests to disk for persistence across sessions
• 🔄 Flexible Management: Add, update, or delete tasks and subtasks as needed
• 📝 Detailed Reporting: View task details and progress tables
• 📤 Export Options: Export task plans and status reports in Markdown, JSON, or HTML formats
• 📦 Dependencies: Track project and task-level dependencies with version information
• 📌 Notes: Add project-level notes for important information and preferences

🚀 Installation

Global Installation

npm install -g @pinkpixel/taskflow-mcp

Local Installation

npm install @pinkpixel/taskflow-mcp

🛠️ Usage

Starting the Server

If installed globally:

taskflow-mcp

If installed locally:

npx taskflow-mcp

Configuration

By default, TaskFlow MCP saves tasks to ~/Documents/tasks.json. You can change this by setting the TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH environment variable:

TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=/path/to/tasks.json taskflow-mcp

MCP Configuration

To use TaskFlow MCP with AI assistants, you need to configure your MCP client to use the server. Create an mcp_config.json file with the following content:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pinkpixel/taskflow-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH": "/path/to/tasks.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔄 Workflow

TaskFlow MCP enforces a specific workflow:

1. Plan Tasks: Break down a user request into tasks (with optional subtasks)
2. Get Next Task: Retrieve the next pending task
3. Complete Subtasks: If the task has subtasks, complete each subtask before marking the task as done
4. Mark Task Done: Mark a task as completed (requires all subtasks to be completed first)
5. Wait for Approval: Wait for user approval of the completed task
6. Repeat: Continue with the next task until all tasks are complete
7. Final Approval: Get user approval for the entire request

For AI assistants to consistently follow this workflow, see the example-system-prompt.md file for system prompts you can add to your assistant's instructions.
