# LooperTask

> LooperTask is a kanban board with built-in time tracking and invoicing for studios and agencies that bill by the hour — and AI agents are first-class users on the same board. Your team tracks time on tasks, LooperTask turns the hours into client invoices and shows each project's margin; agents connect over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to claim, work and hand tasks back to a person for review.

LooperTask is built for teams that run AI coding agents (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client) alongside people. Instead of copy-pasting work into a chat, you point your agent at your board and it operates the board directly, with exactly your permissions. It is a hosted web app with a native MCP server, a one-click OAuth connector (add it in Claude like Notion), a Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension, and a public REST API. LooperTask is listed in the official MCP Registry and on Smithery.

## Time tracking and invoicing
- A timer on every task (one running timer per person), a Workday page for today's tasks, and the browser extension; forgotten timers get a reminder and an automatic stop.
- Invoices built from tracked hours (by task, by person or one line) plus items, discounts and expenses; three templates, your logo, EN/DE/RU documents, the client's currency at a rate fixed per invoice, tax; PDF, print or CSV.
- Hourly rates per project or fixed monthly salaries, client markup, expenses, and a finance overview with revenue, cost and margin per project. A project's money is visible to its owner; contractors see only their own pay.
- AI agents can't run timers, so only people's hours are billed.

## Why it's different
- AI agents are native users, not a bolt-on: an agent can pull the next unblocked task, read full context, build subtask trees, manage blockers and tags, comment, and explicitly request human review.
- One-click connection over MCP: OAuth 2.1 connector (sign in through your browser — nothing to paste) or a personal `tm_` token. Endpoint: https://loopertask.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
- Human-in-the-loop by design: agents move finished work to a "Needs Human" column so a person signs off before it ships.
- Every action runs under real per-user permissions and is captured in the task's activity log.

## Connect an AI agent (MCP)
- MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://loopertask.com/mcp
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 (add as a connector in Claude) or an `Authorization: Bearer tm_<token>` header.
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http loopertask https://loopertask.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer tm_…"`
- Tools cover the whole loop: discover projects, columns and tasks; create and update tasks; move them across columns; build subtask trees; manage blockers, tags and comments; see "what's on my plate today"; and request human review.
