AgentTasker MCP Server
AgentTasker is a small, stdio-only MCP server for AI agents that need to run multiple tasks quickly and get structured results back in one call.
It is intentionally narrow:
two tools:
executeandexecute_batchlocal stdio transport only
zero third-party runtime dependencies
explicit dependency control with
depends_oncompact, model-friendly JSON responses
Repository: https://github.com/S3bRR/agent-tasker-mcp
Why This Exists
Most agent orchestration layers are heavier than they need to be. This project is designed for the common case:
run a few tasks in parallel
let one task wait on another when needed
keep the MCP surface small enough for models to use reliably
There is no queue service, no persistence layer, no background worker system, and no SDK dependency required at runtime.

Usage
execute
Run one task immediately.
{
"task_type": "python_code",
"code": "result = 6 * 7"
}execute_batch
Run multiple tasks concurrently.
{
"tasks": [
{
"name": "fetch_users",
"task_type": "http_request",
"url": "https://api.example.com/users"
},
{
"name": "calc",
"task_type": "python_code",
"code": "result = 6 * 7"
}
],
"output_mode": "compact"
}depends_on
If one task must wait for another, make it explicit.
{
"tasks": [
{
"name": "write_file",
"task_type": "file_write",
"path": "/tmp/example.txt",
"content": "hello"
},
{
"name": "read_file",
"task_type": "file_read",
"path": "/tmp/example.txt",
"depends_on": ["write_file"]
}
]
}If an upstream dependency fails, downstream tasks are marked failed and do not run.
Output Shape
output_mode supports:
compact(default)full
The response is ordered to match the input task list, which makes it easier for models to consume without extra reconciliation logic.
Release Process
Releases are tag-driven.
update
pyproject.tomlandserver.jsonto the same versioncommit and push to
maincreate and push a matching tag such as
v1.0.0GitHub Actions runs tests, builds the package, publishes to PyPI through Trusted Publishing, and then publishes
server.jsonto the MCP Registry
The release workflow rejects version drift: the pushed tag, pyproject.toml, and server.json must match exactly.
Limits
Optional environment variables:
AGENT_TASKER_MAX_TASKS: maximum tasks perexecute_batchAGENT_TASKER_MAX_PAYLOAD_BYTES: maximum payload size per taskAGENT_TASKER_MAX_MEMORY_MB: soft process memory guard

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description adds no behavioral context beyond the basic action. It does not disclose security requirements, side effects, rate limits, or error handling, leaving a significant gap for a tool with 28 parameters.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (6 words) and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, for a tool with 28 parameters, slightly more detail could aid understanding without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the high parameter count and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It lacks information about return values, error scenarios, and how to properly configure the many task types.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions, which are already present.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Run one task and return its result' clearly states the action (run) and the resource (task), and implicitly distinguishes from sibling 'execute_batch' by specifying a single task.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus execute_batch, or on prerequisites, context, or exclusions. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
execute_batchA
Run many tasks in parallel and return ordered results.

| output_mode | No | full or compact | compact |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only mentions parallelism and ordered results. It omits details on error handling, concurrency limits, side effects, or ordering guarantees. Some transparency exists but significant gaps remain.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence covering the core functionality without redundancy. It is appropriately front-loaded, though it could benefit from a brief expansion on ordering or parallelism details without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the tool (multiple task types, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too brief. It fails to explain ordering guarantees, error behavior, return structure, or concurrency limits, leaving the agent with insufficient context for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema for the 'tasks' and 'output_mode' parameters, which are already well-documented in the input schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool 'run[s] many tasks in parallel' and returns ordered results, distinguishing it from the sibling 'execute' tool which likely handles single tasks. The verb 'run' and resource 'tasks' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for parallel execution of multiple tasks via the phrase 'many tasks in parallel,' which contrasts with the sibling 'execute' tool for single tasks. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

execute_batch
TDQS
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one executes a single task, the other executes multiple tasks in parallel. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: 'execute' and 'execute_batch'. The batch suffix clearly indicates the parallel execution variant.
With only 2 tools, the server feels minimal. While it covers the basic task execution needs, the scope of a 'Tasker' service might warrant additional tools for management (e.g., listing, canceling). The count is borderline but acceptable for a narrow focus.
The server lacks tools for task management beyond execution, such as listing tasks, checking status, canceling, or deleting. This creates significant gaps for an agent needing full task lifecycle support.
