Uptier
Let your coding agent read, prioritize, and update a personal to-do list over MCP instead of juggling sticky notes and chat threads.
Overview
UpTier is a MCP server for the Build phase that connects agents to an MCP-powered to-do app with intelligent task prioritization.
What is this MCP server?
- Stdio MCP server (@foxintheloop/uptier-mcp) for a dedicated To-Do app
- Intelligent task prioritization exposed as MCP tools for agents
- npm package v1.0.0 with stdio transport per MCP registry schema
- Keeps task state outside the chat window for repeatable agent workflows
- MCP registry version 1.0.0
- Single npm package @foxintheloop/uptier-mcp
- Stdio transport type per server.schema.json
What problem does it solve?
Solo builders lose track of priorities when tasks live only in chat history and agents cannot see a single prioritized backlog.
Who is it for?
Indie developers who want agent-driven daily planning and backlog hygiene without building a custom task API.
Skip if: Teams that need Jira/Linear-grade permissions, multi-user sync, or compliance workflows out of the box.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent can query and update a real prioritized task list over stdio MCP while you build.
- Agent-callable tools over a live to-do datastore
- Prioritized task views the model can cite in plans
- Repeatable backlog updates from chat-driven workflows
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Task backlogs and prioritization sit squarely in the build-phase PM shelf where solo builders plan what to ship next. Intelligent prioritization and to-do CRUD map to pm subphase planning artifacts agents can query during implementation.
How it compares
MCP task backend, not a markdown planning skill inside the repo.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is UpTier for?
Solo and indie builders using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents who want MCP-accessible to-dos with smart prioritization.
When should I use UpTier?
Use it during build and operate when you want the agent to read your live queue, reprioritize, and mark work done without leaving the IDE.
How do I add UpTier to my agent?
Install @foxintheloop/uptier-mcp from npm, add a stdio MCP server entry pointing at that package, restart the agent, and verify tools appear in the MCP panel.
