Your tasks. Your rules. Your agents.
A local-first MCP server that gives AI agents native access to a full TaskWarrior-compatible engine.
No cloud. No binary to install. No lock-in. Just a pip install and your agents are in control.
Ask your agent:
"Add a task to review the API spec"
"What's on my plate for today?"
"Run my weekly review"
"Show me the roadmap for Project X"
Why TaskMajor?
Most task managers are cloud-first and agent-hostile. TaskMajor is neither.
- 🔒 100% local & private — all data stays on your machine, stored as plain text via the embedded TaskChampion engine
- ⚙️ Full TaskWarrior power — projects, priorities, due dates, tags, UDAs, dependencies, contexts — all accessible by your agent
- 🎭 Profile System — the feature no other task MCP has: define exactly what your agent can see and do, adapted to your methodology
- ⚡ Zero friction — one command installs and starts a fully functional MCP server
🚀 Quick Start
pip install taskmajor # or: uv tool install taskmajor
taskmajor # starts at http://localhost:8888
Point your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Hermes, Continue, or any MCP-compatible agent) at http://localhost:8888.
That's it. No TaskWarrior binary to install — the engine is embedded.

taskmajor --profile productivity # GTD: reviews, energy levels, contexts
taskmajor --profile project-mgmt # sprints, effort tracking, blockers queue
→ Full installation options — uv, Docker, from source

🎭 Profile System — TaskMajor's Killer Feature
Profiles are the heart of TaskMajor. Each profile defines a complete behavioral contract for your agent: what tools it can call, what data structures exist, what views it can read, and how it should reason about your tasks.
| Profile | Extends | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
minimal |
— | Bare CRUD: add, query, complete, delete |
standard |
minimal | Agenda views, date tools, metadata, organization prompts |
productivity |
standard | GTD: energy levels (low/medium/high), daily & weekly reviews, capture workflow, context tags (+@) |
project-mgmt |
standard | Sprint planning, effort analytics, blockers queue |
| your-profile | any built-in | Extend any profile without touching the package |
Custom profile in 3 lines:
# ~/.config/myproject/profiles/myprofile/manifest.yaml
extends: [productivity]
# add your own UDAs, contexts, resources, and agent instructions
taskmajor -c ~/.config/myproject
