Feedback Summary

Cannot configure taskmaster-ai as mcp for Claude Code follwing the guide.

User Context

Following the installation guide on homepage, I added these to ".mcp.json" for Claude Code.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskmaster-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE",
        "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "YOUR_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY_HERE",
        "MODEL": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
        "PERPLEXITY_MODEL": "sonar-pro",
        "MAX_TOKENS": 64000,
        "TEMPERATURE": 0.2,
        "DEFAULT_SUBTASKS": 5,
        "DEFAULT_PRIORITY": "medium"
      }
    }
  }
}

User Impact

The whole ".mcp.json" won't load in Claude Code after adding it.

Suggestions

Fix the document:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taskmaster-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE",
        "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "YOUR_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY_HERE",
        "MODEL": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
        "PERPLEXITY_MODEL": "sonar-pro",
        "MAX_TOKENS": "64000",
        "TEMPERATURE": "0.2",
        "DEFAULT_SUBTASKS": "5",
        "DEFAULT_PRIORITY": "medium"
      }
    }
  }
}

Relevant Screenshots or Examples

Additional Notes

Claude Code doesn't allow numbers to be used in "env".
