Shrimp Task Manager is an MCP server that converts natural-language requests into structured development tasks with dependencies, status, and style/format rules—built for agents that reason step-by-step. It emphasizes chain-of-thought and reflection loops, allowing an assistant to plan, refine, and re-prioritize work like a human project assistant. The server exposes typed tools so clients can create tasks, link prerequisites, record progress, and enforce writing or coding standards for consistent output. It ships with a web/GUI experience and works smoothly inside MCP-capable IDEs, making it useful as both a personal organizer and a programmable task substrate for software projects. Stars, registry listings, and docs point to active usage across the MCP community. The result is a practical “task brain” that agents can query and evolve over time.
