Planning Task

MCP Server for full autonomous project management. Manage projects, sprints, tasks, bugs, proposals, and more — all from your AI coding assistant.

Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex (OpenAI), Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot.

Features

• Projects, sprints, and task management with User Stories
• Bug tracking and proposals
• Team collaboration (members, invitations, comments, notifications)
• Sprint planning from natural language documents
• Analytics dashboards and burndown charts
• Achievements and gamification
• Workflow automation rules
• Time tracking and retrospectives

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• A Firebase project with Realtime Database enabled
• A Firebase Service Account Key (JSON file)

Install

npm install -g planning-task-mcp

Setup

After installing, run the interactive setup:

planning-task-mcp-setup

This will:

1. Ask for your Firebase Service Account Key path
2. Configure your Firebase Database URL
3. Set your default user ID and name
4. Auto-register the MCP in all detected AI clients (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, etc.)
5. Configure auto-approve permissions where supported

CLI mode (non-interactive)

planning-task-mcp-setup \
  --sa-key /path/to/serviceAccountKey.json \
  --db-url https://your-project-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com \
  --user-id your-firebase-uid \
  --user-name "Your Name"

Manual configuration

If you prefer to configure manually, add this to your MCP client config:
