Click “Add task” in any section of your board.

Via MCP

hypertask_create_task({
  board_id: 15,
  title: "Implement user authentication",
  description: "<p>Add login/signup flow</p>",
  priority: "high"
})

Updating tasks

Use hypertask_update_task to modify any task field:

hypertask_update_task({
  task_id: 1234,
  title: "Updated title",
  priority: "urgent"
})

})
