Task Graph MCP

Agent task workflows that actually work. When you have AI agents working on complex tasks, things go wrong fast. Agents lose context, skip steps, forget to coordinate. Task Graph solves this with structured workflows: phases to guide work, prompts for automatic guidance, gates to enforce quality, and coordination primitives for multi-agent scenarios - all through the Model Context Protocol.

People who need coding agent tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
