The best MCP task managers (2026)

Best for: Time-blockers who want tasks and calendar in one inbox

Akiflow pulls tasks from Gmail, Slack, Notion and more into one inbox and lets you drag them onto your calendar. Its hosted MCP connector, included in Pro, gives an assistant read and write access to your Akiflow tasks and calendar. Where it wins: tasks and time-blocking live in one place, and Aki, its own assistant, plans your day by chat. The catch: there's no free plan (the 7-day trial needs a card), and Akiflow doesn't publish the connector's tool list.

Best for: Protecting focus time and habits on a busy calendar

Reclaim schedules tasks, habits and focus time around your meetings, and syncs tasks from Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Jira and Linear. Its MCP server is about your calendar: it summarizes your week, finds meeting times and creates or moves events. Where it wins: every write goes through Preview Mode, and you choose per tool whether it runs on its own, needs your approval or is blocked. The catch: the documented tools are calendar tools, not task tools, and Reclaim documents the server for Claude only.

Best for: A calm, guided daily planning ritual

Sunsama walks you through planning each day and pulls tasks from Asana, Jira, Gmail, Slack and others. Its official server signs in with OAuth and has setup steps for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Code and Notion agents. Where it wins: if daily planning is the point, an assistant can read and update that plan with no bridge in between. The catch: there's no free plan, MCP is part of Pro, and Sunsama doesn't list the server's tools, so check your client's tool list.

Best for: An all-in-one personal app with habits and a focus timer

TickTick runs its own MCP server, with setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Claude Code, and signs in with OAuth or an API token. Where it wins: one app covers tasks, lists, habits, focus records and countdowns, the server reaches all of them, the free plan is generous and Premium is cheap. The catch: TickTick says the server covers basic operations for now, it speaks Streamable HTTP only, and an agent that completes a task simply completes it.

Best for: The best-known personal to-do list, now with an official server

Doist runs Todoist's official MCP server, signed in with OAuth, and its open-source code has more than 40 tools: tasks, projects, sections, labels, comments, reminders, filters and productivity stats. Where it wins: the broadest tool set of the personal apps, polished apps on every platform and fast natural-language capture. The catch: Doist calls the server early-stage, and there's no approval step and no way for an agent to park a question, so it suits an assistant that tidies your list more than one that does the work.

Best for: Cross-functional teams that already plan in Asana

Asana's official server, now on its V2 endpoint, signs in over OAuth with your own permissions and comes as ready-made apps for Claude and ChatGPT. It finds and creates tasks, reads project sections and status, and reports on project data. Where it wins: it respects the permissions you already set, and Enterprise admins control which AI clients connect. The catch: Asana publishes no fixed tool list, its OAuth server doesn't offer dynamic registration (some clients need a client ID from Asana's developer console), and the old beta address had a May 11, 2026 shutdown date.

Best for: Teams that want tasks, docs, chat and time tracking in one place

ClickUp's official server is OAuth only, with no personal API tokens, and publishes 48 tools across tasks, bulk edits, dependencies, time tracking, docs and chat. Where it wins: it's on every plan, Free Forever included, and the tool list is long and documented. The catch: calls are capped per workspace and client (100 a day on Free Forever, 300 on Core or Unlimited), and one of the tools deletes tasks, so be deliberate about who connects.

Best for: Engineering and enterprise programs on Atlassian Cloud

Atlassian's Rovo MCP server is generally available and covers Jira, Confluence, Compass, Bitbucket, Loom and more. It signs in with OAuth or, if an admin turns it on, an API token. Where it wins: the widest client list here, from ChatGPT, Claude and Codex to Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot, and Jira's delete and admin tools are off by default. The catch: it needs an Atlassian Cloud site, Jira Service Management tools need an API token, and Atlassian publishes no total tool count.

Servermcp.atlassian.com/v2/mcp

Best for: Software teams who live in issues, projects and cycles

Linear's official server signs in with OAuth 2.1 and dynamic client registration, or a Linear API key, and has a separate read-only endpoint that only ever exposes read tools. It finds, creates and updates issues, projects and comments. Where it wins: the cleanest read-only option here, and Linear's agent platform lets coding agents take delegated issues and ask for clarification. The catch: Linear publishes no tool count, and it's built for software teams rather than a personal list.

Servermcp.linear.app/mcp

Best for: Ops and marketing teams running boards and timelines

monday.com hosts its server and says it's on every plan at no extra cost. It signs in with OAuth, or a token in the header, and its open-source code documents tools for items, boards, columns, groups, updates and forms, plus optional tools that reach the whole monday API. Where it wins: access follows each user's own permissions, and admins can limit it to chosen workspaces. The catch: an admin has to install the MCP app first, viewers get no access, and the hosted server's full tool count isn't published.

Servermcp.monday.com/mcp

Best for: Docs-first teams whose tasks live in databases

Notion hosts its own server and publishes 64 tools, from search and pages to databases, comments, calendar and Custom Agent sessions. It signs in with OAuth, and Business and Enterprise owners can also issue MCP tokens. Where it wins: the largest published tool set here, and an assistant can work across your whole workspace, not just a task list. The catch: the tools act with your full Notion permissions, and limiting which clients members can connect needs the Enterprise plan.

Servermcp.notion.com/mcp

Best for: Small teams that want built-in AI agents and automations

Taskade's hosted server signs in with OAuth (with dynamic registration) or a personal access token, and documents 50 tools covering tasks, projects, Taskade's own AI agents, knowledge and automation runs. Where it wins: one server reaches tasks, agents and flows, so an outside assistant can prompt a Taskade agent or run an automation. The catch: a Free workspace can't use it; MCP needs a paid plan.

Serverwww.taskade.com/mcp

Best for: The simplest shared kanban

Trello runs its own server, separate from Atlassian's Rovo server, signed in with OAuth; its scopes cover boards, workspaces, your Inbox and Planner. Where it wins: nothing can be deleted through it at all, so an agent can archive cards and lists but never remove them. The catch: Trello's MCP page says it's on by default for Premium and Enterprise without saying whether Free and Standard get it, and there's no published tool list.

Servermcp.trello.com/v1

Best for: Handing tasks to Claude, ChatGPT or Codex and approving the result

Done is a to-do app built around agents doing the work. Its server has 86 tools, each titled and annotated as read or write, and signs in with OAuth 2.1 (dynamic registration and CIMD) or a per-account token that can be read-only or limited to one project. Where it wins: an agent claims a task, can park a question for you with ask_decision, and finishes with propose_completion, which waits for your approval before the task counts as done; named agent lanes with handoffs keep several agents apart. The catch: it's a young product with a smaller integration ecosystem than Todoist or Asana, and the free plan caps agent calls at 100 a month.

Servertrydone.app/mcp

Best for: Solo founders and small teams running sprints with AI

Weft is a Scrumban board with sprints, and its hosted server has 32 tools. An agent claims a task with start_task, keeps the claim alive with report_progress, asks you a question with request_input and records your decisions. A task flagged for review goes to your queue instead of Done, and an agent can't clear the flag. Where it wins: sprints, a polished board, and per-assistant access levels (full, write-only or read-only, per Weft). The catch: review is a per-task flag rather than the default, and the free plan holds 50 tasks.
