Why this level

  • The server runs locally and reads and writes files in the data directory
  • It gives the agent planning tools that drive the course of the work

Install

Manual install

git clone https://github.com/cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager.git
cd mcp-shrimp-task-manager
npm install
npm run build

Needs Node.js 18 or newer. After the build the entry file is at dist/index.js.

Access and checks

How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The server runs locally and reads and writes files in the data directory
  • It gives the agent planning tools that drive the course of the work

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives an agent a toolkit for planning and tracking work over the MCP protocol. From a natural language request it analyzes requirements, splits large work into linked subtasks, tracks dependencies and status, and stores results in a data directory so progress survives a new session. It has a research mode for systematic technology exploration and a reflection mode for revisiting a task. Project rules are defined separately and applied across tasks. It also ships a web task viewer and a light built-in GUI.

Who it is for. For developers and leads who run large tasks through a coding agent and want to keep the plan and context.

Good fit when

  • A large task needs to be split into subtasks with dependencies
  • You want the plan and status to persist across agent sessions
  • You need sequential task execution or a research mode for a topic

Not a fit when

  • You need a one-off edit without planning and task tracking
  • You cannot build the project locally or run Node.js

Example request

Plan the task: add JWT authentication, split it into subtasks and show the dependencies

MCP

Transport
stdio
Authentication
not required

Environment variables

DATA_DIR required
Absolute path to the directory that stores tasks and history
TEMPLATES_USE
Language of the prompt templates, for example en or zh
ENABLE_GUI
Enables the light web overview interface
WEB_PORT
Port for the web interface

Limitations

It needs Node.js 18 or newer, and the repository must be cloned and built before use. The DATA_DIR variable is required and must be an absolute path, otherwise tasks have nowhere to live. The web viewer and GUI are enabled separately.

How to disable. Remove the server entry from your client's MCP configuration and, if you wish, delete the built project folder.

FAQ

Where are tasks stored?

In the directory from the DATA_DIR variable. The path must be absolute; the plan and history are loaded from there in a new session.

Is the web interface required?

No. The server works without it; the task viewer and GUI can be enabled separately if you want a visual overview.

README in short

The README describes an MCP server for managing tasks in agent-assisted development: planning, decomposition, dependency tracking and memory across sessions. Installation is by cloning the repository, running npm install and npm run build, then adding the server to the MCP config as node pointing to dist/index.js. The required DATA_DIR variable sets the data directory; there are research and reflection modes and ready commands like plan task and execute task. A web task viewer and a built-in GUI are available separately. MIT licensed.
