Questions

What is the Shrimp Task Manager MCP server?

Shrimp Task Manager is a task tool built for AI Agents, emphasizing chain-of-thought, reflection, and style consistency. It converts natural language into structured dev tasks with dependency tracking and iterative refinement, enabling agent-like developer behavior in reasoning AI systems.

What tools does Shrimp Task Manager expose?

2 in total: 2 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Shrimp Task Manager safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (87/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does Shrimp Task Manager need?

It reads OPENAI_API_KEY and OPEN_AI_KEY_SHRIMP_TASK_VIEWER from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Shrimp Task Manager run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as shrimp-task-viewer at 3.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (16a6ae982b56), read on 2026-09-23. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
