update_task

MCP tool from Task Queue MCP by TadMSTR

Agent-facing status transition (strict); appends a history entry

How to use it

Project documentation lists update_task for the Task Queue MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
