# BasicOps MCP MCP > BasicOps MCP centralizes project management, task tracking, and team communication into natural conversation. Stop toggling between tabs to update status or check history. This connector lets your AI agent act as a dedicated coordinator for all your projects, giving you full control over complex workflows from one place. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** task-management, workflow-automation, project-tracking, team-collaboration, document-sharing, project-phases ## Description Forget jumping between multiple apps just to keep track of what needs doing. This MCP connects your entire BasicOps account directly to your agent, putting project oversight and team coordination right where you work. You can talk to it like a manager talks to an assistant—tell it to list all active projects or ask for the full communication history on a specific task. It handles the whole lifecycle: creating new tasks, updating status dates, and even listing out every team member so everyone's in sync. When you connect this through Vinkius, your AI agent becomes much more than a chatbot; it’s an operational extension of your actual workspace. You get to manage project sections and monitor metadata without ever leaving the chat window. ## Tools ### create_project Registers a brand new project into your BasicOps account. ### create_task Adds a completely new, trackable task within an existing project. ### get_account_info Retrieves basic information about your user profile and account settings. ### get_project Pulls detailed data for a single, specific project ID. ### get_task Fetches all the current details associated with one task. ### list_task_messages Retrieves the full conversation thread for a task, including notes and updates. ### list_projects Gets an overview and names of all the projects you manage in BasicOps. ### list_project_sections Lists out all major phases or sections defined within a project's timeline. ### list_project_tasks Retrieves a list of every task associated with a particular project. ### list_team_users Provides a directory listing of every team member connected to your workspace. ### list_webhooks Shows a list and status details for all active automation webhooks. ### update_task Changes the status, due date, or description of an existing task. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active projects in my BasicOps workspace. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your projects. You currently have 3 active projects, including 'Marketing Launch' (ID: 123) and 'App Development'. Which one should we check for tasks? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new high-priority task 'Fix Login Bug' in project '123'. ``` **Response:** ``` Task created! I've successfully registered 'Fix Login Bug' in project 123. It's now visible to your team with high priority. Need help assigning a specific member? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show the communication history for task ID '456'. ``` **Response:** ``` Accessing task intelligence... I've retrieved 5 recent updates for task 456, including a technical note from @user1 and a status confirmation. Would you like the high-fidelity metadata for these messages? ``` ## Capabilities ### List all projects Retrieves a complete list of every project you have set up in BasicOps. ### Create new projects Registers an entirely new, isolated project within your workspace structure. ### Manage task details Creates, retrieves, or modifies the status and description of individual work items (tasks). ### Review team directory Accesses a full roster of users in your organization to understand who works on what. ### Track communication history Pulls the complete message log associated with any specific task for context. ### View webhooks status Lists and provides metadata on all active automation webhooks tied to your workspace. ## Use Cases ### The weekly status report is due, but projects are scattered. A PM needs a snapshot of three different client accounts. They ask the agent to use `list_projects` first, then iterate through each one using `get_project` and `list_project_tasks` to pull out all overdue items into a single summary report. ### A critical bug is reported, and nobody knows who was last assigned. The agent uses `list_task_messages` on the ticket ID. It instantly pulls up the technical note from three different people, showing exactly which team member provided the final confirmation needed for resolution. ### We need to restructure our whole quarter into new operational phases. An Ops Lead uses `list_project_sections` and instructs the agent to update or add sections. This automates the workflow change, ensuring every team member sees the updated project structure immediately. ### I need a quick roster of contacts for an urgent meeting. Instead of opening the separate directory tab, the PM asks the agent to run `list_team_users`, getting names and roles instantly. This saves several clicks and keeps the conversation flowing. ## Benefits - Stop manual updates: Instead of finding a task and changing its status manually, use the `update_task` tool to simply tell your agent what needs fixing. It does the rest. - Maintain context: The ability to call `list_task_messages` means you never lose track of *why* something was done or who said it. All history is immediately available. - See the big picture: Use `list_projects` and then `get_project` to pull up summaries for multiple clients in minutes, without clicking through a dozen dashboards. - Organize workflows: You can programmatically list project sections with `list_project_sections`, which is critical when you need to structure your team's operational phases quickly. - Coordinate people: The `list_team_users` tool gives instant access to who works on what, so you don't waste time tracking down contacts or assigning ownership. ## How It Works The bottom line is: your AI agent handles the connection and the commands for you. 1.
