Taskhold

What the Taskhold MCP server does

Taskhold MCP server provides a hosted task list that a developer and coding agents can use together. It is designed for agent-driven development work where tasks need to move from a shared queue into active execution and then into a recorded completion state.

Each change is labeled as either human- or agent-made. That distinction gives the shared list a basic record of who performed an action, which can help a developer review activity alongside agent updates.

The service is intended for use with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf. It is delivered as a remote MCP server rather than as a local-only task file or an embedded feature of one coding environment.

How it works

An agent connects to Taskhold through MCP and uses its tools to work against the hosted task list. The workflow can begin by taking the next available task. During execution, the agent can append notes or block the task with a question for the developer. Once work is finished, it can mark the task complete and include a summary of what was done.

Taskhold MCP server also supports turning TODOs found in code into task entries that retain the relevant file and line information. This makes it suitable for moving code-level follow-up items into the same queue used for active development work.

Setup and configuration

Taskhold is hosted at taskhold.com and is accessed as a remote MCP server.

The service is paid at $12 per month or $120 per year and includes a 7-day trial. The material does not specify whether pricing differs by user, workspace, or agent connection.

Tools and capabilities

The documented capabilities include:

• Taking the next task from the shared list
• Adding notes to a task
• Blocking a task with a question for the developer
• Completing a task with a written summary
• Filing TODOs extracted from code with file and line references
• Marking changes as human- or agent-made

Together, these tools cover task selection, collaboration during execution, completion reporting, and conversion of code TODOs into tracked work.

Limitations and notes

Taskhold MCP server is described as a hosted service, so its use depends on the availability and access requirements of taskhold.com.

Developers evaluating it for a production workflow should verify those points, along with the exact setup procedure and the permissions required by each connected agent.
