MCP Integration

Hypertask provides a full MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI agents to manage tasks programmatically.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI models interact with external tools and data sources. Hypertask implements an MCP server that exposes task management operations as tools.

Connection

Hypertask uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport for its MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypertasks": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.hypertask.ai/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
