Overview

ATLAS MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server designed to facilitate task management and organization specifically for Large Language Models (LLMs). It structures task management, enabling LLMs to handle complex tasks and maintain dependencies effectively.

To use the ATLAS MCP Server, install it via npm with the command npm install atlas-mcp-server, and configure your MCP client settings to connect to the server.

Hierarchical task structures with parent-child relationships. - Robust dependency management and status tracking. - Supports rich content formats, including markdown and code. - Persistent session management for state recovery.

Managing complex workflows in AI applications.
Supporting LLMs in project management and organization tasks.
Facilitating collaboration among multiple LLMs through a structured protocol.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect ATLAS: Task Management System in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlas-mcp-server-cyanheads"
      ]
    }
  }
}
