# Task Master MCP Server
This module implements a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for Task Master, allowing external applications to access Task Master functionality and context through a standardized API.
## Features
- MCP-compliant server implementation using FastMCP
- RESTful API for context management
- Authentication and authorization for secure access
- Context storage and retrieval with metadata and tagging
- Context windowing and truncation for handling size limits
- Integration with Task Master for task management operations
## Installation
The MCP server is included with Task Master. Install Task Master globally to use the MCP server:
```bash
npm install -g task-master-ai
```
Or use it locally:
```bash
npm install task-master-ai
```
## Environment Configuration
The MCP server can be configured using environment variables or a `.env` file:
| Variable | Description | Default |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `MCP_SERVER_PORT` | Port for the MCP server | 3000 |
| `MCP_SERVER_HOST` | Host for the MCP server | localhost |
| `MCP_CONTEXT_DIR` | Directory for context storage | ./mcp-server/contexts |
| `MCP_API_KEYS_FILE` | File for API key storage | ./mcp-server/api-keys.json |
| `MCP_JWT_SECRET` | Secret for JWT token generation | task-master-mcp-server-secret |
| `MCP_JWT_EXPIRATION` | JWT token expiration time | 24h |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Logging level (debug, info, warn, error) | info |
## Getting Started
### Starting the Server
Start the MCP server as a standalone process:
```bash
npx task-master-mcp-server
```
Or start it programmatically:
```javascript
import { TaskMasterMCPServer } from "task-master-ai/mcp-server";
const server = new TaskMasterMCPServer();
await server.start({ port: 3000, host: "localhost" });
```
### Authentication
The MCP server uses API key authentication with JWT tokens for secure access. A default admin API key is generated on first startup and can be found in the `api-keys.json` file.
To get a JWT token:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/auth/token \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```
Use the token for subsequent requests:
```bash
curl http://localhost:3000/mcp/tools \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
```
### Creating a New API Key
Admin users can create new API keys:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/auth/api-keys \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ADMIN_JWT_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"clientId": "user1", "role": "user"}'
```
## Available MCP Endpoints
The MCP server implements the following MCP-compliant endpoints:
### Context Management
- `GET /mcp/context` - List all contexts
- `POST /mcp/context` - Create a new context
- `GET /mcp/context/{id}` - Get a specific context
- `PUT /mcp/context/{id}` - Update a context
- `DELETE /mcp/context/{id}` - Delete a context
### Models
- `GET /mcp/models` - List available models
- `GET /mcp/models/{id}` - Get model details
### Execution
- `POST /mcp/execute` - Execute an operation with context
## Available MCP Tools
The MCP server provides the following tools:
### Context Tools
- `createContext` - Create a new context
- `getContext` - Retrieve a context by ID
- `updateContext` - Update an existing context
- `deleteContext` - Delete a context
- `listContexts` - List available contexts
- `addTags` - Add tags to a context
- `truncateContext` - Truncate a context to a maximum size
### Task Master Tools
- `listTasks` - List tasks from Task Master
- `getTaskDetails` - Get detailed task information
- `executeWithContext` - Execute operations using context
## Examples
### Creating a Context
```javascript
// Using the MCP client
const client = new MCPClient("http://localhost:3000");
await client.authenticate("YOUR_API_KEY");
const context = await client.createContext("my-context", {
title: "My Project",
tasks: ["Implement feature X", "Fix bug Y"],
});
```
### Executing an Operation with Context
```javascript
// Using the MCP client
const result = await client.execute("generateTask", "my-context", {
title: "New Task",
description: "Create a new task based on context",
});
```
## Integration with Other Tools
The Task Master MCP server can be integrated with other MCP-compatible tools and clients:
- LLM applications that support the MCP protocol
- Task management systems that support context-aware operations
- Development environments with MCP integration
