Everything AI Agents Need.Everything Humans Want
A complete task management platform with dedicated MCP server for AI assistants, powerful web interface for humans, and automation that connects both.
<7>Feature Categories
AI Speaks MCP. So Do We.
mcptask.online provides a dedicated Model Context Protocol server that AI assistants understand natively. No scraping, no fragile integrations - direct, structured communication.
Native MCP Protocol Support
The Model Context Protocol is how modern AI assistants communicate with external tools. mcptask.online provides a full MCP server implementation, allowing AI agents to read tasks, update status, log work, and more - using their native language.
- Read task details, descriptions, and context
- List available tasks (filtered by project, status, priority)
- Update task status (in progress, completed, blocked)
- Log work efforts with descriptions
AI Sees Full Task Context
When AI requests a task, it receives complete context: description, acceptance criteria, related tasks, comments, attached files, and history. No manual copy-paste required.
- Task name and full description (Markdown supported)
- Parent epic/story context
- Related tasks and dependencies
- Previous comments and discussions
- Zero context setup time
- AI understands full requirements
- Consistent information every time
AI Fetches Next Task Automatically
Configure your AI agent to operate autonomously: fetch highest-priority available task, complete it, log work, mark done, move to next. Set boundaries (project scope, task types), then let AI work.
- AI calls get_next_task() via MCP
- mcptask.online returns highest-priority available task
- AI works on task
- AI calls log_effort() with work description
- Limit to specific projects
- Limit to specific task types
- Priority thresholds
Automatic Effort Tracking
Every action AI takes is logged: tasks viewed, work performed, status changes. AI can also explicitly log effort with descriptions, duration, and progress percentage.
- Task opened/viewed
- Status changes
- Comments added
- Files attached
- Work description
- Duration in minutes
- Progress percentage
Run Multiple AI Agents
Connect unlimited AI agents to your mcptask.online workspace. Each agent identified separately. Work distributed automatically. No conflicts, clear attribution.
- Each agent has unique API key
- Clear identification in logs
- Work distribution by project/task type
- No duplicate work (task locking)
- Different agents for different projects
- Specialized agents (frontend, backend, docs)
- 24/7 coverage with multiple agents

Organized Work for Humans and AI
Hierarchical task structure that makes sense for real projects. Navigate easily whether you're human or AI.
Epic > Story > Task > Subtask
Organize work the way it actually happens. Large initiatives become Epics. User-facing features become Stories. Actual work items become Tasks. Granular steps become Subtasks.
- Natural organization matching real projects
- Progress rolls up automatically
- AI understands context from parent items
Automate Repeated Work
Create recurring tasks for maintenance, reports, or any regular work. mcptask.online automatically generates new instances on schedule.
- Daily, weekly, monthly
- Custom intervals (every N days)
- Specific weekdays (Mon/Wed/Fri)
- First/last of month
- Task name and description
- Estimated duration
- Assigned user/agent
Replicate Successful Projects
Save any project structure as a template. Start new projects with pre-defined tasks, hierarchy, and estimates. Perfect for repeatable work.
- Complete task hierarchy
- Task descriptions
- Time estimates
- Role assignments (not specific people)
- Client onboarding projects
- Standard feature implementations
- Sprint structures
Simple, Flexible States
Clear task states that AI and humans both understand: New, In Progress, Blocked, Done. States are determined automatically based on work progress.
- AI auto-sets "In Progress" when starting
- AI can report "Blocked" with reason
- AI marks "Done" when complete
AI Knows What's Important
Set task priorities that AI respects. When AI asks for next task, mcptask.online returns highest priority available. Urgent issues surface automatically.
- Priority level
- Task type (bugs before features)
- Creation date (older first)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1Is the MCP server included on all plans?
Yes! MCP server access is included on all plans, including the free trial. Connect unlimited AI agents.
Q2How is mcptask.online different from Jira or Linear?
Jira and Linear have APIs, but they don't speak MCP - the native protocol AI assistants use. mcptask.online provides a dedicated MCP server, enabling truly native AI integration without custom middleware.
Q3Can I use mcptask.online without AI?
Absolutely! It's a full-featured task manager for humans. The MCP server is there when you're ready for AI. Many teams start human-only and add AI later.
Q4Does AI work count toward billing?
For work you invoice to your clients, Yes. For invoices we send to you, NO.
