🔌Connect

What can you connect to Taskade?

Connect everything. Automate anything. Taskade ships with 100+ native integrations across 10 categories: Communication, Email/CRM, Payments, Development, Productivity, Content, Data/Analytics, Storage, Calendar, and E-commerce. Plus browser extensions, desktop widgets, the MCP server, and a full Public API.

TL;DR: Most connectors work in two places: as a step inside an automation, and as a tool an AI agent can call. A few, like Instagram, support only one path. Your calendar tells an agent who is free. A new email starts an automation. Browse the full catalog in the Integrations Directory, or start with Integrations Everywhere.

How do most integrations work?

Most integrations register as both: a step inside Automations and a tool your AI Agents can call. A few connectors support only one path. Instagram uploads media, but it carries no automation trigger or action. The MCP client connector runs inside automations only. That is the Workspace DNA loop: your tools feed Memory (Projects), Memory powers Intelligence (Agents), and Intelligence triggers Execution (Automations).

Overview

The Taskade MCP server connects your Taskade workspace to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and other AI tools. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is the shared standard those tools use to reach your data, and any tool that speaks it is an MCP client. Once connected, your AI assistant can work with projects, tasks, agents, folders, templates, media, and your Taskade Genesis app.

TL;DR: Open Settings → API, choose Connect Cursor or Connect Claude, and replace the copied configuration's token placeholder. Paste it into your client to work with projects, tasks, agents, folders, templates, media, and Taskade Genesis apps. The hosted connection is available on every paid plan. See Pricing for details.

Connect the hosted MCP server

The hosted inbound server is https://www.taskade.com/mcp. It is on every paid plan. It is not limited to app files. A connected client can work with workspaces, projects, tasks, and agents, and it can inspect a Taskade Genesis app. The write_file tool writes only under app/.

Step 1: Create a token

Open Settings → API in Taskade. Create or copy a Personal Access Token.

Step 2: Copy the hosted configuration

Select Connect Cursor or Connect Claude.

Step 3: Add your token

Replace <paste-your-token-here> with your token.

Step 4: Open the client configuration

Open claude_desktop_config.json in Claude Desktop or .cursor/mcp.json in Cursor.

Step 5: Save the configuration

Paste the copied taskade server entry. Save the file.

Step 6: Restart the client

Restart the client. Workspace tools then appear in its tools menu. Treat the configuration as a secret because it now contains your token.

On Free, skip the hosted URL. Run the open-source taskade/mcp server on your own computer instead, with a Personal Access Token from Settings → API. Your AI tool starts that server and talks to it directly, a setup developers call stdio. Outbound MCP through an automation is a different path. See MCP Connectors.

🔬 Still evolving: The hosted Taskade MCP server (v6.148.0+) is available on every paid plan. Its tool set is still growing, so tools and behavior can change between releases. You can also run the open-source taskade/mcp server on your own computer with a Personal Access Token.

💡 Note: Wondering whether Taskade can call out to an external MCP server? It can, through automations. The MCP Client connector points an automation at any remote MCP server and calls its tools as steps. An agent cannot reach a server on its own, so let it hand the work to an automation.
