Delega
Give Claude or Cursor a Delega-backed task queue so agents can create, delegate, and track work instead of losing it in chat.
Overview
Delega is a MCP server for the Build phase that lets AI agents create, delegate, and track tasks in Delega via stdio MCP.
What is this MCP server?
- Create, delegate, and track tasks through MCP stdio transport
- Works with hosted api.delega.dev or self-hosted API at 127.0.0.1:18890
- Requires DELEGA_API_KEY from delega.dev dashboard
- npm package @delega-dev/mcp at registry version 1.2.1
- stdio MCP server—no separate HTTP port for the agent connector
- Server version 1.2.1
- 1 npm package with stdio transport
- 2 environment variables (DELEGA_API_KEY required secret)
What problem does it solve?
Agent chats do not persist a shared task board, so delegated work disappears between sessions.
Who is it for?
Solo builders orchestrating multiple AI agents against one Delega workspace or self-hosted Delega API.
Skip if: Teams that only need human Trello/Jira boards with no agent task API.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent can read and update Delega tasks through MCP tools with a single API key.
- stdio MCP connection to Delega task APIs
- Agent-callable create/delegate/track task operations
- Configurable hosted or self-hosted API endpoint
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Agent task APIs sit in Build because they extend how coding assistants coordinate real work during product development. agent-tooling is the shelf for MCP bridges that turn assistants into operators with persistent task state.
How it compares
MCP task-queue integration for agents, not a general project-management skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.delega-dev/delega for?
Indie developers and small teams using Delega who want Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to manage tasks programmatically over MCP.
When should I use io.github.delega-dev/delega?
Use it during Build when you want agents to create, assign, and track Delega tasks instead of pasting checklists into chat.
How do I add io.github.delega-dev/delega to my agent?
Install @delega-dev/mcp, set DELEGA_API_KEY (and DELEGA_API_URL if self-hosting), and register the stdio MCP server in your client’s MCP config.
