Why Taskade MCP?

Taskade MCP gives your AI assistant full access to your workspace — projects, tasks, agents, knowledge bases, templates, and automations. Instead of writing API code, describe what you need in natural language.

What You Say What Happens
"Show me all overdue tasks" Reads projects → filters tasks → formats report
"Create a support agent trained on our docs" Creates agent → attaches knowledge → publishes
"Set up next week's sprint from our template" Copies template → populates tasks → assigns team
"Summarize yesterday's completed work" Reads task history → generates standup summary

Why MCP Instead of REST API?

REST API MCP Server
Setup Write HTTP client, handle auth, parse JSON npx @taskade/mcp-server — one command
Interface Code against endpoints Natural language — describe what you need
Chaining Manual orchestration AI chains tools intelligently
Error handling Write error handling code AI interprets errors and retries

Why Taskade MCP Over Other MCP Servers?

Taskade is the only MCP server that includes AI agent management (create, train, deploy agents), knowledge base training (attach docs, projects, media), and OpenAPI codegen (generate MCP tools from any API spec). 50+ tools across 7 categories.


Agent Recipes

Recipe 1: Daily Standup Summarizer

Problem: Team standup notes scattered across Slack, email, and docs.

You: "Check my Taskade workspace for yesterday's completed tasks,
      summarize them as a standup update, then create today's
      priority tasks based on what's still open."

Claude uses:
  1. meProjectsGet → find your active projects
  2. projectTasksGet → pull tasks from each project
  3. taskCreate → create today's priority tasks

Result: A formatted standup summary + fresh task list in Taskade.
Recipe 2: Knowledge Base Agent Builder

Problem: You have docs scattered across files and need an AI agent trained on them.

You: "Create an AI support agent called 'Help Bot' in my
      Customer Success folder, train it on our Documentation
      project, and publish it publicly."

Claude uses:
  1. workspaceFoldersGet → find "Customer Success" folder
  2. folderCreateAgent → create "Help Bot" with support instructions
  3. agentKnowledgeProjectCreate → attach Documentation project
  4. agentPublicAccessEnable → publish with shareable link

Result: Live AI chatbot trained on your docs, ready to embed.
Recipe 3: Sprint Planning Automation

Problem: Creating sprint projects manually every two weeks.

You: "Create a new sprint project from our 'Sprint Template',
      name it 'Sprint 2026-W15', move the top 10 backlog
      items into it, and assign them to the engineering team."

Claude uses:
  1. folderProjectTemplatesGet → find "Sprint Template"
  2. projectFromTemplate → create "Sprint 2026-W15"
  3. projectTasksGet → get backlog items
  4. taskMove → move top 10 tasks to new sprint
  5. taskPutAssignees → assign engineering team members

Result: Sprint ready to go, fully populated and assigned.
Recipe 4: Competitive Intelligence Agent

Problem: You need an agent that monitors competitors and reports findings.

You: "Generate an AI agent that researches our top 5 competitors.
      Train it on our Competitive Analysis project.
      Name it 'Market Intel Agent'."

Claude uses:
  1. folderAgentGenerate → generate agent from research prompt
  2. agentKnowledgeProjectCreate → connect Competitive Analysis project
  3. agentUpdate → refine instructions for research cadence

Result: AI research agent with domain knowledge, ready for briefings.
Recipe 5: Client Onboarding Pipeline

Problem: Each new client needs the same project structure, tasks, and materials.

You: "For our new client Acme Corp: create a project from
      the 'Client Onboarding' template, add tasks for
      kickoff meeting and SOW review, set due dates for
      the next 2 weeks, then share the project link."

Claude uses:
  1. projectFromTemplate → create "Acme Corp Onboarding"
  2. taskCreate → add kickoff, requirements, SOW tasks
  3. taskPutDate → set dates across next 2 weeks
  4. projectShareLinkEnable → generate share link

Result: Client onboarding project live and shareable in 30 seconds.

Use Cases

Project Management with AI

Ask your AI assistant to manage your Taskade workspace:

  • "Show me all my projects and their status"
  • "Create a new project called Q1 Planning with tasks for each team"
  • "Move all overdue tasks to the Backlog project"
  • "Set due dates for all tasks in the Sprint project"

AI Agent Creation

Build and deploy AI agents directly from your editor:

  • "Create an AI agent called Customer Support Bot with knowledge from our docs project"
  • "Generate an agent for code review using this prompt: ..."
  • "Publish my agent publicly and give me the share link"
  • "Add our API documentation project as knowledge to the agent"

Template Workflows

Automate project creation from templates:

  • "List all templates in my workspace"
  • "Create 5 new client onboarding projects from the Client Template"
  • "Copy the Sprint Retrospective project for this week"

n8n Automation Integration

Connect Taskade to 400+ apps via n8n workflows. See the n8n Integration Guide for setup instructions.


OpenAPI Codegen

Use our generator to build MCP tools from any OpenAPI spec — not just Taskade.

npm install --save-dev @taskade/mcp-openapi-codegen @readme/openapi-parser
import { dereference } from '@readme/openapi-parser';
import { codegen } from '@taskade/mcp-openapi-codegen';

const document = await dereference('your-api-spec.yaml');

await codegen({
  path: 'src/tools.generated.ts',
  document,
});

Works with any OpenAPI 3.0+ spec. Generate MCP tools for your own APIs in minutes.
