Shrimp Task Manager MCP server

Shrimp Task Manager is a helper program that gives your AI a memory for tasks. Instead of forgetting what you were working on, it keeps a list of jobs, breaks big ones into smaller steps, and remembers where you stopped. It is handy if you use an AI coding assistant and your projects take more than one sitting.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what you want to build or fix, in normal words. Your AI passes that to Shrimp, which studies the request and splits it into smaller tasks with an order. Shrimp stores those tasks in a folder on your computer, along with notes about what was done. When you come back later, your AI can look at that list again and continue, so nothing gets lost between sessions.

What you can do with it

• Plan a piece of work and get it broken into smaller steps
• See the full list of tasks and their current status
• Run through tasks one after another without stopping
• Track which tasks depend on which other tasks
• Research a topic before deciding how to build something
• Review a finished task and improve it
• Keep project rules and coding standards in one place

What it gives back to you

You get back a list of tasks with short descriptions and a status for each one, like pending or done. When your AI plans something, you see the smaller steps it came up with and the order it suggests. When a task runs, you see what was changed or produced. Everything stays in your chat, and the list is saved on your computer so it is still there next time.

Before you start

Who it's for
