taskflow-agent

Lightweight project and task manager with MCP tools for Claude Code.

SQLite backend, 23+ MCP tools, web UI with embedded AI chat, and a FastAPI REST API. Built as a self-hosted Asana replacement optimized for AI-assisted workflows.

Features

• 23+ MCP tools — projects, tasks, sections, goals, daily focus, search, views, repo integration, service lifecycle
• Web UI — dark-theme SPA with project boards, task details, inline editing
• AI chat — embedded Claude chat with workspace awareness, tool access, and persistent memory
• Daily focus — Today view with goals, focus list, and AI-assisted daily planning
• Goals — timeframe-scoped goals (day/week/month/quarter) that guide daily prioritization
• Agent memory — persistent context across chat sessions (preferences, decisions, patterns)
• Repo integration — read-only git status, recent commits, and TODOs across connected repos
• FTS search — full-text search across task names and notes
• Server-side chat storage — chat history persisted in SQLite with compaction
• Asana import — bulk import from Asana CSV exports
• Service management — start/stop the web server via MCP tools or Makefile

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "path/to/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "src.server"],
      "cwd": "path/to/taskflow"
    }

Web UI

Start the web server on port 8787:

make serve    # foreground, Ctrl-C to stop
make dev      # with auto-reload
make status   # check if running
make stop     # stop the server

Or manage via MCP tools from Claude Code — ask Claude to "start the taskflow server."

Database is created automatically on first run via db.init_db().
