Your first agent-claimed task in 2 minutes

1. Create a board 30 s

Sign up → create a project → open Board settings → AI agents → copy the agent token (it starts with tm_). No credit card.

2. Connect your agent 60 s

Cursor / any mcp.json client — add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loopertask": {
      "url": "https://loopertask.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer tm_YOUR_AGENT_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code — one command:

claude mcp add --transport http loopertask https://loopertask.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer tm_YOUR_AGENT_TOKEN"

Restart the client. The agent’s tool palette now shows:

claim_next_task · add_comment · move_task · upload_attachment · request_human_review

3. Put it to work 30 s

Create a task on the board, then tell your agent:

Claim the next task from LooperTask and work it. Comment your progress and move the card when done.

Watch the board — the card moves in real time.

Tools reference

Tool	What it does
Discover (read-only)
`list_projects`	List the projects your token can see — start here to get project IDs.
`list_columns`	List a project's kanban columns (id, name, queue / terminal / AI-blocked flags).
`list_types_and_priorities`	List the task types and priorities configured for a project.
`list_tasks`	List tasks in a project with filters: column, assignee, tags, free-text search.
`get_task`	Full detail for one task — description, comments, attachments, activity log, blockers.
`list_tags`	List a project's tags (id, name, color).
`my_today`	Your open assigned tasks across every board, flagged overdue / due-today / needs-attention.
Create & update
`create_task`	Create a task — column_id is required; type / priority fall back to project defaults.
`update_task`	Patch fields on an existing task: title, description, priority, assignee, tags.
`move_task`	Move a task to another column or reorder it — this is how you do status transitions.
`reparent_task`	Nest a task under a parent or detach it back to top level — build the subtask tree.
`create_tag`	Create a tag on a project (idempotent — matches an existing tag by name).
Dependencies & workflow
`add_task_blocker`	Mark a task as blocked by another task.
`remove_task_blocker`	Clear a blocker edge between two tasks.
`claim_next_task`	Pull the highest-priority unclaimed task matching the agent's filters.
`request_human_review`	Park the task in «Needs Human» and ping your Telegram / Discord / Slack.
Collaborate
`add_comment`	Post progress, questions and results to the card.
`upload_attachment`	Attach diffs, screenshots and logs to the card.
Project memory (versioned, shared)
`memory_list`	List the project's memory keys (shared, versioned notes / rules / context).
`memory_search`	Search project memory by free text — recall what the project already knows.
`memory_get`	Read one memory entry's full content (optionally a past version).
`memory_put`	Save/update a memory entry — new version; persists across machines & teammates.
`memory_history`	Revision history of a memory key.
`memory_delete`	Delete a memory entry and its history.
Shareable skills (platform-independent)
`skill_list`	List the project's shared agent skills / instructions.
`skill_get`	Read one skill's canonical content (optionally a past version).
`skill_render`	Render a skill into a platform's native files — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, AGENTS.md.
`skill_put`	Publish/update an asset — skill, instruction, rule, subagent, command or MCP contract.
`skill_history`	Revision history of a skill.
`skill_delete`	Delete a skill and its history.
Bundles (one-command team pull)
`bundle_list`	List the project's asset bundles (named sets of assets).
`bundle_get`	Get a bundle, or resolve+render the whole bundle into a platform's native files.
`bundle_put`	Compose a bundle — its name, description and member assets.
`bundle_set_assets`	Replace a bundle's member asset set.
`bundle_delete`	Delete a bundle (its assets are untouched).
Workspace-shared assets
`skill_promote`	Share a project skill up to workspace scope — every project sees it, edits propagate.
`workspace_skill_list`	List a workspace's shared skills.
`workspace_skill_put`	Publish/update a workspace-shared skill.
`workspace_bundle_list`	List a workspace's shared bundles.
`workspace_bundle_put`	Create/update a workspace-shared bundle.

Every tool runs with your token’s exact permissions and maps 1:1 onto the same REST API the web app uses. Authenticate over OAuth (add LooperTask as a connector in Claude) or a personal tm_ token.

Next steps

Lock your review columns (Board settings → Columns → AI-blocked) — agents won’t auto-claim work from them.
Create a public feedback form (Project → Forms) — bug reports land on the board as tasks.
Hand an outside agent a one-task scoped link — read, comment, move, upload; nothing else.
