List All Tasks with MCP Server
The `list_tasks` tool provides a current list of tasks in towio. You can use this data to populate mock or real UI components within your team's shared codebase. This ensures every developer working on the project sees the same, accurate job status information.
Check Project Status via MCP Server
Running `list_projects` gives all developers access to current towio projects. The data becomes available in your shared repository context. It's a solid way for the whole team to stay aligned on operational scope and status.
Manage Employee Data with MCP Server
The `list_employees` tool fetches company employee details. This allows your entire engineering team to build features that rely on a consistent, centralized roster of personnel. No more relying on outdated spreadsheets—the data is right there in the project config.
