## Description

This MCP server provides AI assistants with task management capabilities across multiple file formats (Markdown, JSON, YAML), built by Ariel Flesler using TypeScript with FastMCP and featuring five core tools for task setup, searching, adding, updating, and summarization with automatic work-in-progress management. The implementation offers flexible file format support with intelligent parsing, duplicate task handling, batch operations for efficiency, configurable status workflows with automatic transitions between To Do/In Progress/Done states, and both CLI and server modes with HTTP/stdio transport options. Built with comprehensive validation using Zod schemas, Docker deployment support, source file registration with workspace awareness, and published as an npm package with global CLI access, it serves development teams needing conversational task tracking integrated with their existing file-based workflows, project managers requiring AI-driven task organization without switching tools, and teams where natural language interfaces enhance productivity by eliminating manual task file editing.
