Developer Platform

Everything you need to build on Taskade — REST API, MCP Server, SDK, and more.

You want to integrate Taskade into your app, automate your workflows, or connect your AI tools. This page gets you started fast. Many teams build their app visually with Taskade Genesis first, then extend it with the API.

Integration Surface at a Glance

I Want To...

I want to...
Use

Write tasks, manage assignees/dates/fields (full CRUD)

Prompt agents, manage agents, export/import bundles

Hit endpoints from any language

Expose Taskade data to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other MCP clients

Give a Taskade agent third-party capabilities

Edit Taskade Genesis app source code from your IDE

Receive real-time events in your app

Understand long-term memory

Build agents that run without prompting

Automate workflows without code

Browse community apps and templates

Get Your API Key

You need a Personal Access Token to authenticate with every Taskade developer tool — the REST API, MCP Server, and SDK all use it.

  1. Click Create new token and give it a descriptive name.

  2. Copy the token and store it somewhere safe. You will not be able to see it again.

Developer Resources

Resource
Description

The complete, stable RESTful API — full task CRUD, per-endpoint docs

The newer action-based (RPC) API — agent prompting, bundles, lifecycle

Personal access tokens and OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) flows

Run @taskade/mcp-server to connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code (source)

Multi-client setup, troubleshooting, security

Edit your Genesis app's source from your IDE via the remote https://www.taskade.com/mcp server

Give Taskade agents 31+ third-party tools (outbound MCP)

Open-source Zapier and n8n actions & triggers built on the public API — contribute or self-host

Trigger automations from external events; call out to any API

Import/export full Genesis apps as portable .tsk bundles

Memory-as-Projects architecture — editable, queryable, API-addressable

Automations, orchestration, cross-agent invocation patterns

Generated client for v2 — not yet on public npm; use the REST API meanwhile

Base URLs

Taskade ships two public HTTP APIs, both authenticated with the same token:

API
Base URL
Style
Use it for

https://www.taskade.com/api/v1

RESTful (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE)

Full task CRUD, assignees, dates, notes, fields

https://www.taskade.com/api/v2

Action / RPC (POST /{operation})

Prompting agents, agent lifecycle, bundles

Live OpenAPI specs (source of truth) — auto-generated from the running API, always current:

The reference pages in this guide are hand-written companions (examples, patterns, best practices). When in doubt about an exact field or status code, the live spec wins.

Include your token in the Authorization header:

Errors

Both APIs return a consistent JSON error envelope — expected failures come back as typed errors, not bare 500s:

The HTTP status matches the code (e.g. 401 UNAUTHORIZED, 402 PAYMENT_REQUIRED, 403 FORBIDDEN, 404 NOT_FOUND, 429 TOO_MANY_REQUESTS). Branch on ok and code rather than parsing message.

What You Can Build

  • Custom dashboards that pull data from Taskade workspaces and projects

  • CI/CD integrations that create tasks or update statuses on deploy

  • AI assistants that manage tasks and agents through the MCP Server

  • Internal tools that connect Taskade to your company's systems

  • Automation bots that react to events and keep projects in sync
