tasker-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing Tasker developer tooling to LLM agents and AI-assisted development tools.

Installation

# From crates.io
cargo install tasker-mcp

# From source
cargo install --path tasker-mcp

# Docker
docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/tasker-systems/tasker-mcp:latest

Pre-built binaries for Linux and macOS are available on the GitHub Releases page (tagged tasker-mcp-v*).

Quick Start

Copy .mcp.json.example to .mcp.json (gitignored) to register the server with Claude Code:

cp .mcp.json.example .mcp.json

Or configure manually in your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tasker": {
      "command": "tasker-mcp",
      "env": { "RUST_LOG": "tasker_mcp=info" }
    }
  }
}

Verify the server starts: tasker-mcp will listen on stdio and log to stderr.

Tools

Tool Description Key Parameters
template_generate Generate task template YAML from a structured spec name, namespace, steps[] with outputs[]
template_validate Validate template for structural correctness and cycles template_yaml
template_inspect Inspect DAG structure, execution order, root/leaf steps template_yaml
handler_generate Generate typed handlers, models, and tests template_yaml, language, scaffold
schema_inspect Inspect result_schema field details and consumer relationships template_yaml, step_filter
schema_compare Compare producer/consumer schema compatibility template_yaml, producer_step, consumer_step

Canonical Workflow

template_generate → template_validate → handler_generate
  1. Generate: Describe your workflow steps and output fields → get valid template YAML
  2. Validate: Check structural correctness, dependency cycles, best-practice warnings
  3. Generate handlers: Produce typed models + handler scaffolds + test files for your language

When debugging schema contracts between steps:

template_inspect → schema_inspect → schema_compare

Supported Languages

handler_generate supports: python, ruby, typescript, rust

By default, scaffold mode is enabled — handlers import generated type models and use typed return values.

Architecture

  • Transport: stdio (standard MCP transport for CLI tools)
  • Protocol: MCP 2025-03-26 via rmcp
  • Tooling: All tools delegate to tasker-sdk for codegen, validation, and schema analysis
  • Runtime: Tokio async with tracing to stderr

Dependencies

  • tasker-sdk — Shared SDK (codegen, template parsing, schema inspection, operational tooling)
  • tasker-shared — Core types (TaskTemplate, StepDefinition)
  • rmcp — MCP protocol implementation (server mode, stdio transport)
  • tokio — Async runtime
