Only task manager with native MCP Speak it. It’s on the board.

Built for AI-assisted development Used to apps? Talk to this one.

Task CLI speaks Model Context Protocol natively — 19 tools out of the box. Claude Code, OpenAI agents, and Gemini manage tasks, view attached screenshots, and download files — no browser tabs, no copy-paste, no context switching. If you’re used to a browser, an app, or the Trello board you had for years — Task is that board, cleaned up. Tap the mic, say the task, and it lands on the column. No forms, no “which list was it again?”

Claude Code
You > Check my tasks and start working on the highest priority one Claude > Let me check your tasks. [calls list_tasks] You have 3 pending tasks in project "startup": high — Investigate LP metrics (1 attachment) medium — Write integration tests low — Update API docs The first task has a screenshot attached. Let me download it. [calls download_file task_id="a1b2c3d4" file_id="dfef542e"] [reads /tmp/task-a1b2c3d4-screenshot.png] I can see the analytics dashboard. The bounce rate on the pricing page is 74% — significantly higher than the 45% on the landing page. I'll start by analyzing the pricing section and suggest improvements. [calls start_task id="a1b2c3d4"] Looking at your codebase now... [reads site/pricing/index.html, writes changes, runs tests] Done! Marking the task as complete. [calls complete_task id="a1b2c3d4"] ✓ Investigate LP metrics

Auto-configured when you install Task CLI. Or add manually:

claude mcp add task-manager -- task serve

OpenAI Agents SDK

pip install openai-agents
openai_agent.py
from agents import Agent, Runner from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio async with MCPServerStdio( command="task", args=["serve"] ) as server: agent = Agent( name="Task Manager", mcp_servers=[server] ) result = await Runner.run( agent, "list my tasks" )

Google Gemini

pip install google-genai mcp
gemini_agent.py
from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client from google import genai params = StdioServerParameters( command="task", args=["serve"] ) async with stdio_client(params): response = client.aio.models.generate_content( model="gemini-2.5-flash", config=...GenerateContentConfig( tools=[session]) )

🏐 Pass the ball

Every task has one owner. Always.

Assigning a task to someone doesn't mean they accepted it. Pass the ball is a consensual handoff: you offer, they catch or drop. The ball never disappears — until it's caught, it stays with you.

🏐

From your terminal

task pass <id> @marco · task catch <id> · task drop <id>

⌨

From the interactive board

Open a task detail, then hit p to pass, c to catch, d to drop.

📱

From the web app

The task detail page shows an Accept/Decline button when a ball is waiting for you, and a member-picker dropdown for passing.
