You need dedicated capabilities in the Workplace & Productivity domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Add a task: title plus optional project, column, due date, estimate, priority, tags and notes. A new project name creates its board; a partial name that matches exactly one existing project is used as that project.
task_list
Table of tasks, filtered by project, column, tag, `due_before` or `overdue`. Finished tasks are hidden unless you ask for them. Prints 200 rows by default and says how many more there are; raise it with `limit` (max 2,000).
task_move
Move a task to another column on its board.
task_update
Change any field: title, notes, due (`none` clears it), estimate, priority, tags, column or project.
task_done
Mark a task done: it moves to the done column and is stamped with the time.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
