View guide →Shrimp Task Manager: an MCP server that turns natural language into structured, dependent dev tasks.
mcp-shrimp-task-manager is an open-source ai agents project by cjo4m06 (cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager on GitHub). It has 2,147 GitHub stars and 254 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 21 August 2025.
Decide which project you want an agent to plan and execute in structured steps rather than ad hoc prompts.
Clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the project to produce the server entry point.
Add the shrimp-task-manager entry to your MCP client's configuration with a data directory and template language, then start the client with that config.
Initialise project rules, plan your first task in natural language, and execute tasks one by one or in continuous mode.
Analyses requirements and breaks complex projects into atomic, testable subtasks automatically.
Manages relationships between tasks and tracks status in real time as work proceeds.
Tasks, progress, and history are stored and backed up, so agents keep context despite token limits or new sessions.
A systematic research mode explores technologies, and project rules keep coding standards consistent across tasks.
Different AI agents can be assigned to specific tasks, with reflection steps to review and improve completed work.
A React task viewer with drag-and-drop and search, plus a lightweight web GUI enabled through configuration.
Node.js 18 or newer is required.
git clone https://github.com/cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager.git
cd mcp-shrimp-task-manager
npm install && npm run buildAdd the server to a .mcp.json in your project with your data directory, as shown in the README.
# .mcp.json: command "node", args ["/path/to/mcp-shrimp-task-manager/dist/index.js"], env DATA_DIR, TEMPLATES_USE=en, ENABLE_GUI=falseLaunch your client with the config and use the natural-language commands.

Yes, it is MIT-licensed and free; you use it through your existing MCP client and its model access.
Shrimp itself needs no API key; the AI client you connect it to (such as Claude Code) uses your own account or key.
A plain to-do list records tasks; Shrimp is an MCP server that actively plans, decomposes, orders by dependency, and reflects on tasks inside the agent's workflow.
Clone the repo, npm install, npm run build, add the server entry to your client's MCP config, and ask it to plan a task.
