The task manager for Claude Desktop

Connect Claude Desktop to your priority queue. TaskPrio is MCP-native — Claude reads the top task with get_next_task, helps you work it, and marks it complete with a logged result. Right from a conversation, on the same queue your coding agents use.

Connect it to Claude Desktop

First fetch the bundled server and verify your token (one-time — grab the token from the TaskPrio sidebar → Copy token):

PROMPTPRIO_API_TOKEN=pp_xxx bash <(curl -fsSL https://promptprio.com/install.sh)

That caches the MCP server to ~/.local/share/promptprio/mcp-server.js. Now add TaskPrio to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\) under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "promptprio": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/you/.local/share/promptprio/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "PROMPTPRIO_API_TOKEN": "pp_your_token",
        "PROMPTPRIO_API_URL": "https://taskprio.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, then confirm the TaskPrio tools appear in the tools menu. Full steps in the docs.

What you can do

You:    "What's my next TaskPrio task?"
Claude: get_next_task → shows the top task + its context
You + Claude work it together
Claude: complete_task → logs a short result to the audit trail

Claude Desktop is a conversational MCP client, not a hands-off codebase editor — so it shines for triaging your queue, planning, completing non-code tasks, and reviewing what your coding agents shipped. For autopilot that edits a repo top-to-bottom, point Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or Zed at the same queue.

Why pair Claude Desktop with TaskPrio

• One queue, every surface — the list Claude Desktop reads is the same one your coding agents and the web board share.
• You set priority — capture into the Inbox, rank what matters; Claude works the ranked queue.
• Results, not just "done" — each completion logs a short result, so the audit trail stays trustworthy across humans and agents.
• Context travels with the task — project instructions are merged into every task Claude receives.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Claude Desktop to a task queue?

Run the one-line installer, add the promptprio entry under mcpServers in claude_desktop_config.json, and restart Claude Desktop. Claude then has get_next_task and complete_task.

Is it an autonomous coding agent?

No — it's a conversational MCP client. Great for triage, planning, non-code tasks, and reviewing agent work. For hands-off repo autopilot, use Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or Zed on the same queue.

Is it free?

Yes. Free includes 1 MCP session and 50 completions/day; Pro ($10/mo) gives 5 sessions and unlimited completions.
