MCP Shrimp Task Manager
> ๐ฆ **Intelligent task management for AI-powered development** - Break down complex projects into manageable tasks, maintain context across sessions, and accelerate your development workflow.
**Watch Demo Video** โข **Quick Start** โข **Documentation**
๐ Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- npm or yarn
- MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, etc.)
Installation
Installing Claude Code
**Windows 11 (with WSL2):**
**macOS/Linux:**
Installing Shrimp Task Manager
Configure Claude Code
Create a .mcp.json file in your project directory:
Example configuration:
Then start Claude Code with your custom MCP configuration:
Other AI Clients
**Cline (VS Code Extension)**: A VS Code extension for AI-assisted coding. Add to VS Code settings.json under cline.mcpServers
**Claude Desktop**: Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
Start Using
1. **Initialize your project**: "init project rules"
2. **Plan a task**: "plan task: implement user authentication"
3. **Execute tasks**: "execute task" or "continuous mode"
๐ก What is Shrimp?
Shrimp Task Manager is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that transforms how AI agents approach software development. Instead of losing context or repeating work, Shrimp provides:
- **๐ง Persistent Memory**: Tasks and progress persist across sessions
- **๐ Structured Workflows**: Guided processes for planning, execution, and verification
- **๐ Smart Decomposition**: Automatically breaks complex tasks into manageable subtasks
- **๐ฏ Context Preservation**: Never lose your place, even with token limits
โจ Core Features
Task Management
- **Intelligent Planning**: Deep analysis of requirements before implementation
- **Task Decomposition**: Break down large projects into atomic, testable units
- **Dependency Tracking**: Automatic management of task relationships
- **Progress Monitoring**: Real-time status tracking and updates
Advanced Capabilities
- **๐ฌ Research Mode**: Systematic exploration of technologies and solutions
- **๐ค Agent System**: Assign specialized AI agents to specific tasks (Learn more)
- **๐ Project Rules**: Define and maintain coding standards across your project
- **๐พ Task Memory**: Automatic backup and restoration of task history
Web Interfaces
๐ฅ๏ธ Task Viewer
Modern React interface for visual task management with drag-and-drop, real-time search, and multi-profile support.
