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
📄 YAML Support: Save tasks in YAML format for better handling of multiline content
🛡️ Robust Text Handling: Comprehensive newline sanitization for reliable data persistence
🎯 Prompts System: Global instructions and task prefix/suffix for consistent LLM guidance
📚 Task Archiving: Archive completed requests to keep active task lists clean
🗂️ Archive Management: Browse, search, and restore archived tasks with full history
📍 Relative Path Support: Use relative paths for flexible project-based workflows

🚀 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 tasks.yaml in the current working directory. You can customize this by setting the TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH environment variable:

File Path Options

Absolute paths (recommended for production):

TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=/home/user/projects/my-tasks.yaml taskflow-mcp
# Windows
TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=C:\Users\username\Documents\tasks.yaml taskflow-mcp

Relative paths (great for project-based workflows):

# Resolves to ./project-tasks.yaml in the current directory
TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=project-tasks.yaml taskflow-mcp

# Resolves to ./tasks/current.yaml relative to working directory
TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=tasks/current.yaml taskflow-mcp

Advanced: Custom base directory

# Use a different base directory for relative path resolution
TASK_MANAGER_BASE_DIR=/home/user/workspace TASK_MANAGER_FILE_PATH=tasks.yaml taskflow-mcp

Cross-Platform Compatibility

TaskFlow MCP automatically handles path resolution across Windows and Linux:

Uses Node.js path.resolve() and path.normalize() for consistent behavior
Supports both forward slashes (/) and backslashes (\) on Windows
Automatically creates parent directories when saving tasks
Provides clear error messages for path resolution issu
