Overview

Task Planner MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to assist AI assistants like Claude in breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, tracking progress, and managing a hierarchical task list.

To use the Task Planner MCP Server, clone the repository, install the dependencies, and run the server. Configure it with Claude Desktop by adding the server details to the claude_desktop_config.json file.

  • Create, update, and delete tasks - Break down complex tasks into multiple subtasks - Mark tasks as complete - View detailed task information - List all tasks or subtasks of a specific task - Set task priorities (low, medium, high)
  1. Managing personal projects by breaking them into smaller tasks
  2. Assisting AI assistants in organizing and tracking tasks
  3. Facilitating collaborative task management in teams

Cursor

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planner-captaincrouton89": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-planner-captaincrouton89"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "planner-captaincrouton89": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-planner-captaincrouton89"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planner-captaincrouton89": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

    "planner-captaincrouton89": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-planner-captaincrouton89"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planner-captaincrouton89": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-planner-captaincrouton89"
      ]
    }
  }
}
