# cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager

Shrimp Task Manager is a task tool built for AI Agents, emphasizing chain-of-thought, reflection, and style consistency. It converts natural language into structured dev tasks with dependency tracking and iterative refinement, enabling agent-like developer behavior in reasoning AI systems.

## What it is
An MCP server that gives AI coding agents structured task management, converting natural language into dev tasks with dependency tracking, execution state, and cross-session task memory. It emphasizes chain-of-thought planning, reflection, and iterative refinement for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf.

## Use cases
- break down complex coding projects into structured tasks for an AI agent
- give my AI coding assistant memory across sessions
- manage task dependencies in Claude Code or Cursor
- convert natural language requirements into a dev task list
- track progress of multi-step AI-assisted development work
- avoid re-explaining requirements to my coding agent every session

## When to choose
- you use an MCP-compatible AI coding client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Roo Code) and need structured, persistent task planning
- your projects involve multi-step tasks with dependencies that agents lose track of
- you want chain-of-thought planning and task verification built into your agent workflow

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone human-facing project management tool rather than an agent-facing MCP server
- your workflow doesn't support MCP or you don't use AI coding assistants
- you need heavyweight project management with teams, boards, and reporting
