Description

Task Master is a developer-focused task management tool that uses Claude (Anthropic) to parse product requirement documents, generate task lists, and help implement or expand tasks. It offers both an MCP (Model Control Protocol) server for editor integration (Cursor recommended) and a CLI/npm interface for project initialization, task generation, and listing. The tool requires an Anthropic API key (Claude) and optionally supports Perplexity/OpenAI integrations; it is distributed via npm and licensed under MIT with Commons Clause. It's designed to streamline AI-assisted development workflows by keeping tasks structured, prioritized, and accessible inside your editor or CI.
