List All Tower Projects via the MCP Server

Call `list_projects` to get a complete view of every project in Tower. This lets you see what groups or initiatives are currently active. You'll immediately know where your work sits, giving you an overview before diving into any specific team details.

Check Team Membership Details

Use `list_members` to pull a roster of all users connected to the Tower platform. You can quickly verify who's on the team and check their roles. It’s helpful for figuring out who needs to be looped into discussions or assigned tasks.

Update Specific Tasks in Tower

The `update_task` tool lets you change anything about an existing task, like changing its status or adding a due date. You just need the right task ID to get started. You don't have to go into the web UI; your agent handles the update directly through Claude.
