Description

This pull request adds two new MCP servers to the community servers list:

  1. Tasks MCP Server - An efficient task manager designed for LLM integration
  2. Files MCP Server - Enables surgical code editing with symbol discovery

Server Details

  • Server: New servers addition
  • Changes to: Community servers list

Tasks MCP Server:

  • Repository: https://github.com/flesler/mcp-tasks
  • Ultra-efficient design with only 5 tools to reduce AI confusion
  • Budget-optimized with batch operations and smart defaults
  • Multi-format support (Markdown, JSON, YAML)
  • Powerful search and filtering capabilities
  • Auto WIP management and duplicate prevention

Files MCP Server:

  • Repository: https://github.com/flesler/mcp-files
  • Surgical code editing capabilities
  • Symbol discovery across entire codebase
  • Precise line-range editing with read_symbol + insert_text combo

Motivation and Context

These servers address common pain points in AI-assisted development:

Tasks Server solves:

  • LLM confusion from too many task management tools
  • Inefficient API usage in task operations
  • Need for cross-format task file support
  • Lack of intelligent task organization

Files Server solves:

  • Difficulty finding symbols in large codebases
  • Imprecise code editing leading to broken implementations
  • Need for surgical precision in code modifications
  • Inefficient search-and-replace workflows

How Has This Been Tested?

Both servers have been extensively tested with:

  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet via Cursor IDE
  • Multiple task management workflows (creation, search, filtering, status updates)
  • Code editing scenarios including symbol discovery and precise modifications
  • Multi-format file operations (Markdown, JSON, YAML)
  • Large codebase navigation and editing

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes. These are new server additions that don't affect existing configurations.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Checklist

  • I have read the MCP Protocol Documentation
  • My changes follows MCP security best practices
  • I have updated the server's README accordingly
  • I have tested this with an LLM client
  • My code follows the repository's style guidelines
  • New and existing tests pass locally
  • I have added appropriate error handling
  • I have documented all environment variables and configuration options

Additional context

Security Considerations:

  • Tasks server is ultra-safe by default - AI cannot rewrite or delete tasks unless explicitly enabled
  • Files server provides read-only symbol discovery and controlled write operations
  • Both servers follow MCP security best practices with proper validation

Performance Optimizations:

  • Tasks server uses batch operations to minimize LLM API calls
  • Files server enables precise editing without full-file operations
  • Both servers are designed to reduce token usage and improve response times

Design Philosophy:

  • Minimal tool count to reduce AI confusion
  • Type-safe implementations with full TypeScript support
  • Real-time updates with automatic persistence
  • Cross-platform compatibility
