TaskSync MCP Server

This is an MCP server that helps with feedback-oriented development workflows in AI-assisted development by letting users give feedback while the agent is working. It uses the get_feedback tool to collect your input from the feedback.md file in the workspace, which is sent back to the agent when you save. By guiding the AI with feedback instead of letting it make speculative operations, it reduces costly requests and makes development more efficient. With an additional tool that allows the agent to view images in the workspace.

🌟 Key Features

🔄 Continuous Review Feedback

• get_feedback tool that reads feedback.md for real-time feedback
• Automatically creates feedback.md if it doesn't exist in the workspace
• File watcher automatically detects changes and notifies waiting processes
• Essential for iterative development and user feedback loops

🖼️ Media Processing

• view_media tool for images files with base64 encoding
• Supports image formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, SVG
• Efficient streaming for large files with proper MIME type detection

🛠️ Quick Setup

Global Setup. Add to mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tasksync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tasksync-mcp@latest", "/path/to/directory"]
    }
  }
}

For VS Code:

 {
    "servers": {
        "tasksync": {
        "command": "npx",
        "type": "stdio",
        "args": ["-y", "tasksync-mcp@latest", "/path/to/directory"]
        }
    }
}

🔨 Available Tools

• get_feedback - Read feedback.md file for user review/feedback (creates file if missing)
• view_media - Read image (returns base64 with MIME type)

Workflow Example

1. User Prompt + TaskSync MCP Rules - User provides a request/task
2. Agent Response - Agent responds to the prompt AND calls mcp_tasksync_get_feedback tool
3. Agent Acts Accordingly - Based on feedback, agent will call the tool again if needing:
   • More clarification
   • Confirmation
   • Information
   • New task assignment
   • Additional feedback
4. Continuous Loop - After completing user tasks/questions, agent calls the tool again
5. Loop Forever - This continues indefinitely until user stops the chat

🛟 Best Practices

Agent Rules for Optimal Performance

For best results with TaskSync, add these rules to your AI agent configuration:

### MCP TaskSync `get_feedback` Tool Instructions

Look for feedback.md file first before using the tool if not found you make one.

**USAGE RULES:**

1. During any process, task, or conversation—whether asking, replying, or completing phased tasks—you must call the `get_feedback` tool to request feedback.
2. Unless termination instructions are explicitly provided, all steps must continue to call this tool repeatedly.
3. Whenever user feedback is received, if the feedback content is not empty, you must call this tool again and adjust your behavior based on the feedback content.
4. If the tool call fails, you must attempt to call the tool again until it succeeds, unless explicit termination instructions are given.
5. Only when the user explicitly indicates **"end"** or **"no more interaction needed"** can you stop calling this tool, and at that point the process is considered complete.

**YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN FROM:**
- Ending the chat/conversation/session for ANY reason except explicit user termination commands ("stop", "end", "terminate", "quit")
- Using ANY phrases that suggest the conversation is ending or complete
- Not looking for feedback.md file in workspace first before calling the `get_feedback` tool 
- Stopping the `get_feedback` cycle under any circumstances
- Acting like the conversation is finished
