Question 1

What is TaskLeef?

Accepted Answer

TaskLeef is a Kanban task management platform designed for developers and individuals who want to manage work from the terminal, code editor, or browser. It includes a full command-line interface built in Rust, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI coding assistants manage your tasks natively, and agentic AI that takes real actions on your boards — creating cards, moving them between columns, applying tags, and reordering work through natural language. It also offers real-time collaboration via WebSocket, bidirectional GitHub and Slack integrations, and a native iOS app with quick capture and smart recurring tasks.

Question 2

What is an MCP server for task management?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants to connect to external tools and data sources. TaskLeef's MCP server exposes 39 tools across 7 domains — Todos, Boards, Columns, Cards, Members, Tags, and Comments — so AI coding assistants like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor can read and write your tasks directly from the editor. Instead of switching to a browser to update a task, you can tell your AI assistant "move the auth task to In Progress" and it happens instantly. TaskLeef is the only task manager that supports MCP.

Question 3

Does TaskLeef have a CLI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TaskLeef has a full-featured command-line interface built in Rust, not just a quick-add shortcut. It provides complete feature parity with the web interface — you can create, complete, list, and manage todos, boards, columns, and tags entirely from the terminal. The CLI is open source, starts instantly with zero overhead, and produces pipe-friendly output for scripting and automation. Install it from the GitHub repository at github.com/taskleef/cli.

Question 4

What AI models does TaskLeef support?

Accepted Answer

TaskLeef supports Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), and Gemini (Google) with no vendor lock-in — you bring your own API key and choose the model that works best for your workflow. The agentic AI reads your board state, takes multi-step actions like creating cards and applying tags, and holds conversational threads scoped to each board or column. The MCP server works with any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol standard, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and GitHub Copilot.

Question 5

How does TaskLeef compare to Linear, Todoist, or Things?

Accepted Answer

TaskLeef occupies a unique position: it's built for developers who want their task manager to integrate with their existing tools. Unlike Linear, it has a full Rust CLI and MCP server for AI assistants. Unlike Todoist and Things, it offers real-time Kanban boards with WIP limits and bidirectional GitHub and Slack sync. The iOS app includes features like annoying notifications that repeat every 5 minutes until you act, and repeat-after-completion scheduling that starts the countdown when you finish a task rather than on a fixed calendar. Pricing starts at free for 5 boards and 5 users.

Question 6

Is TaskLeef free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan includes up to 5 Kanban boards, 5 users per board, unlimited tasks, full CLI access, API access, and one-way GitHub and Slack notifications. Paid plans start at $8/month ($6/month billed annually) and unlock unlimited boards, bidirectional integrations, outbound webhooks, and priority support. All paid plans come with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required — and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
