Extroverted Developer

Your task management just got a conversational upgrade.

What if managing your todos felt less like clicking through an app and more like talking to a helpful assistant? That’s exactly what Taskleef’s new MCP Server makes possible.

With Anthropic’s recent launch of Cowork plugins—and the growing ecosystem of MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations—we’re excited to announce that Taskleef now integrates directly with Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

What This Means for You

Instead of switching between apps, opening browsers, or remembering which board has what task, you can now manage everything through conversation:

• “Show me my todos for this week” — Get a quick overview without opening anything.
• “Create a todo to review the quarterly report by Friday” — It’s added, dated, and ready.
• “Move the authentication task to In Progress” — Your Kanban board updates instantly.
• “What’s in my inbox?” — See unassigned tasks that need attention.

Natural language in, task management out.

How It Works

Taskleef’s MCP Server speaks the same language as Claude—literally. The Model Context Protocol is the open standard that connects AI assistants to external tools securely. When you configure Claude with Taskleef’s MCP server, Claude gains access to 39 different tools for managing your todos, boards, tags, and more.

Here’s the magic: you don’t need to learn these tools. Just describe what you want. Claude figures out which tools to call and handles the rest.

What You Can Do

Todo Management Create, complete, search, and organize your tasks. Taskleef understands natural dates like “tomorrow,” “next Monday,” or “in 3 days”—and even extracts tags automatically when you write something like “Review design [work].”

Kanban Boards Move cards between columns, reorder priorities, and manage WIP limits—all through conversation.

Collaboration Add comments, manage board members, and control access with Editor, Viewer, and Owner roles.

Smart Organization Tag your tasks, filter by status, and keep your inbox clean—without manual sorting.

Getting Started

Setting up Taskleef with Claude takes just a few steps:

1. Sign up for Taskleef at taskleef.com
2. Generate an API key from your account settings
3. Add the MCP configuration to Claude Code or Claude Desktop
4. Start talking to your todo list

Full setup instructions are in our MCP Server documentation.

Why MCP Matters

Anthropic’s knowledge-work-plugins repository shows where this is headed: AI assistants that integrate with your actual tools, not just chat about them. The 11 official plugins—covering sales, legal, marketing, customer support, and more—all rely on MCP connections to work.

Taskleef’s MCP server means you’re not locked into someone else’s productivity system. You get the benefits of AI-powered task management with a tool that’s designed around how you actually work.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. We’re exploring deeper integrations with the Cowork plugin ecosystem, including potential skill bundles that combine Taskleef with calendar management, email triage, and project workflows.

For now, we’re focused on making the core experience seamless. Try it out, let us know what workflows you want to automate, and help us shape what comes next.
