Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• VS Code or JetBrains IDE with Continue extension installed

Step 1: Install TaskFlow MCP Server

1npm install -g @dalmasonto/taskflow-mcp

Step 2: Configure MCP Server

Create .continue/mcpServers/taskflow.yaml in your project root:

1name: TaskFlow MCP
2version: 0.0.1
3schema: v1
4mcpServers:
5  - name: taskflow
6    type: stdio
7    command: taskflow-mcp
8    args: []

Alternatively, use JSON format (compatible with Claude Desktop):

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "taskflow": {
4      "command": "taskflow-mcp",
5      "args": []
6    }
7  }
8}

Save this as .continue/mcpServers/mcp.json in your project.

Step 3: Verify

Open Continue's panel in VS Code or JetBrains and switch to Agent mode. Ask:

"What TaskFlow MCP tools do you have available?"

MCP tools are only available in Agent mode, not in Chat mode.

Tips

• Continue supports both YAML and JSON config formats
• MCP tools only work in Agent mode: they are not available in Chat mode
• No explicit approval settings - tools are available once configured
