Agent Tasks MCP Server

Pipeline-driven task management for AI coding agents. An MCP server with stage-gated pipelines, multi-agent collaboration, and a real-time kanban dashboard. Tasks flow through configurable stages - backlog, spec, plan, implement, test, review, done - with dependency tracking, approval workflows, artifact versioning, and threaded comments. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
