Task Manager MCP Server

Task Manager MCP gives an agent a simple local task list. Tasks live in ~/.config/robos/tasks/tasks.json. On first run the file is created with three sample tasks (TASK-101 to TASK-103).

Tools

Tool	What it does
`robos_tasks_list`	List tasks, optionally filtered by `status`, `assignee` or `epic`.
`robos_tasks_get`	Return one task by id, or an error if it does not exist.
`robos_tasks_create`	Create a task (`title`, `priority`, `type`, `assignee`). Without an id it generates one like `TASK-123`.
`robos_tasks_update`	Merge fields into a task.
`robos_tasks_advance_workflow`	Move a task along `TODO`, `IN_PROGRESS`, `REVIEW`, `DONE`.
`robos_tasks_add_comment`	Add a timestamped comment.
`robos_tasks_log_hours`	Add to the task’s logged hours.

Resources: robos://task-manager/tasks/active (in-progress tasks) and robos://task-manager/tasks/all.

The console window

Task Manager MCP Server Console shows task counts per status, + Create MCP Task and Advance Active Workflow buttons, and a protocol trace of the calls. The server is created without an HTTP port, so it only registers itself in ~/.config/robos/mcp/servers.json. The MCP Router has its own implementation of the same tool names that works on the same tasks.json file.

Run it with npm start in packages/task-manager-mcp; there is no .desktop launcher. npm test runs node --test. To connect Jira, GitHub or Linear to RobOS, see Task Servers.
