MCP Server Setup

Connect Taskade to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool using the Taskade MCP server.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol lets AI assistants interact with external tools and data sources. The Taskade MCP server gives AI tools access to your workspaces, projects, tasks, agents, and more.

Install

npm install -g @taskade/mcp
