Officially maintained with broad tool coverage (62 tools spanning projects, tasks, agents, templates, media, and the newer v2 Agent Chat/Webhook tools), supports both stdio and HTTP/SSE transports, and bundles a reusable OpenAPI-to-MCP code generator; note that some capabilities are gated by paid plans and the personal token carries broad permissions that should be safeguarded.
Taskade MCP Server (the official @taskade/mcp-server npm package) is Taskade's own Model Context Protocol server, exposing 62 tools across workspaces, projects, tasks, AI agents, knowledge bases, templates, media, and real-time webhooks to MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code. It runs over stdio by default via npx, and can also run in HTTP/SSE mode (with a --http flag) for remote or custom clients. The same repository ships a separate OpenAPI-to-MCP code generator (@taskade/mcp-openapi-codegen) that can turn any OpenAPI 3.0+ spec into MCP tools, not just Taskade's own API. Note that this repo's Workspace MCP is distinct from the hosted, OAuth-protected Genesis App MCP at taskade.com/mcp described in Taskade's docs — that is a separate surface and outside the scope of this package.
1) Go to Taskade Settings > API and create a Personal Access Token to use as TASKADE_API_KEY. 2) Add an mcpServers entry to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or Cline's MCP config with command npx, args ["-y", "@taskade/mcp-server"], and TASKADE_API_KEY set in env. 3) For VS Code, add a .vscode/mcp.json using the servers key; ${input:taskade_api_key} can prompt for the key on first run. 4) For remote or custom clients, run TASKADE_API_KEY=your-api-key npx @taskade/mcp-server --http to start in HTTP/SSE mode (default http://localhost:3000, configurable via PORT), then connect via SSE at /sse?access_token=your-api-key. 5) After connecting, confirm the tool list loads and grant permissions incrementally as you use write operations.
