Audit Tasks Across Filtered Sets

You can audit productivity by running filtered reports on task sets. Use `list_tasks` to gather everything based on a specific project ID, section, label, or custom filter string. This is perfect for getting an overview before you plan your day's work. You can also run simple checks with `list_labels` to see exactly what organizational tags are available.

Manage Project Structures

Windsurf reads the structure of your goals when you use this MCP Server. Start by fetching high-level details using `get_project`, or view all potential containers with `list_projects`. You'll also have access to `list_sections` if you need to map out sub-goals within a project. Knowing the full scope of your work is key. You can check specific project parameters using `get_project` for accurate context.

Execute Full Task Lifecycle

The agent handles the entire task lifecycle, so you don't need to switch tools. Start by creating new items with `create_task`, and when they are done, use `close_task` to mark them as complete. If a goal changes, it doesn't matter; Windsurf can update the original item using `update_task`, or clean up obsolete records entirely with `delete_task`. This MCP Server makes sure your data stays current.
