MCP.Pizza Chef: cjo4m06

Long jobs fall apart when an assistant forgets what it already did. This keeps a written list of tasks, their order, and which ones depend on others, saved to a folder on your own computer so it survives between sessions. Ask it to plan a piece of work, run tasks one at a time or straight through, research a question first, or revisit and improve something already finished. A small web view shows the list. It works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cline.

mcp-shrimp-task-manager FAQ

Which apps does it work in?

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cline are all documented.

Do I need a paid key?

No. Everything is stored in a folder on your own computer.

Can I use this to keep an assistant on track across several days?

Yes — tasks and progress are saved to disk, so a fresh session picks up where the last one stopped.

How hard is the setup?

You need Node 18 or newer, you build the project once, then point your app's settings at the result.

Is this only for programming work?

It is built around software development, with planning, execution, and review aimed squarely at code.

Can I see the task list outside my chat window?

Yes, there is a web task viewer with search and drag-and-drop reordering.

Where does my task data live?

In a folder you choose on your own machine, set when you configure it.
