**Note:** For interacting with Taskmaster programmatically or via integrated tools, using the **MCP tools is strongly recommended** due to better performance, structured data, and error handling. The CLI commands serve as a user-friendly alternative and fallback. See [`mcp.mdc`](mdc:.cursor/rules/mcp.mdc) for MCP implementation details and [`commands.mdc`](mdc:.cursor/rules/commands.mdc) for CLI implementation guidelines.
**Important:** Several MCP tools involve AI processing and are long-running operations that may take up to a minute to complete. When using these tools, always inform users that the operation is in progress and to wait patiently for results. The AI-powered tools include: `parse_prd`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `update_subtask`, `update_task`, `update`, `expand_all`, `expand_task`, and `add_task`.

## Configuration & Metadata
## Environment Variables Configuration
- **Environment Variables**: Taskmaster relies on environment variables for configuration (API keys, model preferences, default settings). See [`dev_workflow.mdc`](mdc:.cursor/rules/dev_workflow.mdc) or the project README for a list.
- **`tasks.json`**: The core data file containing the array of tasks and their details. See [`tasks.mdc`](mdc:.cursor/rules/tasks.mdc) for details.
- **`task_xxx.md` files**: Individual markdown files generated by the `generate` command/tool, reflecting the content of `tasks.json`.
Taskmaster's behavior can be customized via environment variables. These affect both CLI and MCP server operation:
* **ANTHROPIC_API_KEY** (Required): Your Anthropic API key for Claude.
* **MODEL**: Claude model to use (default: `claude-3-opus-20240229`).
* **MAX_TOKENS**: Maximum tokens for AI responses (default: 8192).
* **TEMPERATURE**: Temperature for AI model responses (default: 0.7).
* **DEBUG**: Enable debug logging (`true`/`false`, default: `false`).
* **LOG_LEVEL**: Console output level (`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, default: `info`).
* **DEFAULT_SUBTASKS**: Default number of subtasks for `expand` (default: 5).
* **DEFAULT_PRIORITY**: Default priority for new tasks (default: `medium`).
* **PROJECT_NAME**: Project name used in metadata.
* **PROJECT_VERSION**: Project version used in metadata.
* **PERPLEXITY_API_KEY**: API key for Perplexity AI (for `--research` flags).
* **PERPLEXITY_MODEL**: Perplexity model to use (default: `sonar-medium-online`).
Set these in your `.env` file in the project root or in your environment before running Taskmaster.
