What is Hypertask?

Hypertask is a project management tool designed for both humans and AI agents to collaborate on software development tasks.

Why Hypertask?

Traditional project management tools are designed for humans clicking through UIs. Hypertask is different:

• AI-native - Built with first-class MCP (Model Context Protocol) support, so AI coding agents can read, create, update, and manage tasks programmatically.
• Human-friendly - A clean web UI for managing boards, tasks, and projects without needing the command line.
• Real-time - SSE (Server-Sent Events) keep everything in sync across multiple sessions, agents, and team members.

How it works

Hypertask is organized around a simple hierarchy:

Organization
  └── Projects
        └── Boards
              └── Sections (columns)
                    └── Tasks
                          └── Comments

• Projects group related work (e.g., a product or client).
• Boards represent workflows within a project (e.g., “Sprint 1”, “Backlog”).
• Sections are columns on a board (e.g., “Todo”, “Doing”, “Review”, “Done”).
• Tasks are the units of work, with descriptions, priorities, assignees, and comments.

Key capabilities

• Create and manage tasks via the web UI or MCP
• Move tasks between sections and boards
• Assign tasks to team members or AI agents
• Add comments with rich HTML content
• Search across all tasks
• Inbox notifications for assigned work
