The task manager for Cursor

Give Cursor's agent a real task queue. TaskPeace is MCP-native — Cursor pulls the top task with get_next_task, works it in your codebase, reports a result, and grabs the next. One priority order, worked top to bottom — watched live in a cockpit.

Add it to Cursor

First fetch the bundled server and verify your token (one-time — grab the token from the TaskPeace sidebar → Copy token):

PROMPTPRIO_API_TOKEN=pp_xxx bash <(curl -fsSL https://taskpeace.com/install.sh)

That caches the MCP server to ~/.local/share/promptprio/mcp-server.js. Now add it to Cursor — open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add promptprio under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "promptprio": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/you/.local/share/promptprio/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "PROMPTPRIO_API_TOKEN": "pp_your_token",
        "PROMPTPRIO_API_URL": "https://taskpeace.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor — your agent now has the TaskPeace tools. Full steps in the docs.

The autopilot loop

1. get_next_task     → top unblocked task + merged project context
2. (Cursor edits your codebase)
3. complete_task     → short result, logged for the audit trail
4. repeat            → until the queue returns no task

Each handed-out task is leased, so you can run Cursor alongside a Claude Code session on the same queue without collisions.

Why do developers pair Cursor with TaskPeace?

• No prompt babysitting — Cursor pulls work itself instead of you pasting the next instruction each time.
• One source of truth — the same ranked queue you see on the web board is the one Cursor reads.
• Context travels with the task — project instructions are merged into every task the agent receives.
• You set priority — capture into the Inbox, rank what matters; Cursor only works ranked tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add a task queue to Cursor?

Run the one-line installer, enable the promptprio server in Cursor's MCP settings, and reload. Cursor's agent then has get_next_task and complete_task.

Does it work with Cursor's agent mode?

Yes — the agent loops get_next_task → work → complete_task on your queue, the same autopilot loop Claude Code and ChatGPT use.

Is it free?

Yes. Free includes 1 MCP session and 50 completions/day; Pro ($10/mo) gives 5 sessions and unlimited completions.
