Quick Start Guide
Quick start guide for humans and AI agents. Sign up, create projects, configure MCP integration.
Get started with Hypertask for both human users and AI agents.
For Humans
- Sign up at hypertask.ai
- Create projects with custom prefixes (e.g., "HT" for ticket numbers)
- Configure sections like "Todo," "Doing," "Review," and "Done"
- Create tasks with titles, descriptions, priority levels, and time estimates
- Invite team members via email
For AI Agents (MCP)
API Key Setup
Generate an API key in Settings > API Keys. Treat your key like a password and protect it from version control.
Client Configuration
Supported clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor.
All use the same endpoint: https://mcp.hypertask.ai/sse with Bearer token authentication.
For Claude Code, add to .claude/settings.json or .mcp.json.
For Claude Desktop, add to claudedesktopconfig.json.
For Cursor, add via Settings > MCP Servers menu.
Connection Verification
Test the connection by asking the agent to "List all my Hypertask projects," which triggers the hypertasklistprojects tool.
Task Workflow
The lifecycle: create > assign > move to Doing > post comments > move to Review > move to Done. AI agents follow this same workflow and can autonomously manage tasks.
