Karea Mcp
A bridge between Claude and the Karea task manager that exposes 44 tools for managing work alongside your code. You can create, edit, and close tasks directly from Claude Code or Cursor, attach markdown notes and file references, track open questions per task, and link to Jira issues. The workflow is conversational: tell Claude you're starting on a bug and it calls karea_doing to update status, ask it to add a closing requisite and it writes one, say you're done and it toggles the requisite and marks the task complete. Requires a Karea API key and runs via npx. Useful if you want your AI coding assistant to keep your task list synchronized without switching contexts.
