**Watch Demo Video** • **Quick Start** • **Documentation**
🚀 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"
💡 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:
- **🧠 Persistent Memory**: Tasks and progress persist across sessions
- **📋 Structured Workflows**: Guided processes for planning, execution, and verification
- **🔄 Smart Decomposition**: Automatically breaks complex tasks into manageable subtasks
- **🎯 Context Preservation**: Never lose your place, even with token limits
✨ 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
- **🔬 Research Mode**: Systematic exploration of technologies and solutions
- **🤖 Agent System**: Assign specialized AI agents to specific tasks (Learn more)
- **📏 Project Rules**: Define and maintain coding standards across your project
- **💾 Task Memory**: Automatic backup and restoration of task history
