# Karea
> MCP-first task and project management for developers and teams, with an AI chat assistant and an MCP server so AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can manage your tasks.

Karea (https://karea.app) is a task and project management app built for developers and teams who ship fast. It combines a command-line-style slash-command interface with AI-powered assistance, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI agents, JIRA sync, recurring tasks, open questions, and real-time team collaboration. Made by KPilot Labs (https://kpilotlabs.com).

## Pricing
- Free: 1 project, up to 30 open tasks. No credit card.
- Pro: EUR 4.49/month. Adds the AI chat assistant, API access, team collaboration, and unlimited open tasks.
- Max: EUR 8.99/month. Everything in Pro, plus unlimited projects and recurring tasks.

## What makes it different
- Slash commands: create and edit tasks by typing instead of clicking through menus.
- AI-native: a built-in AI chat assistant executes task operations from plain language, and the MCP server lets external AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.) create, edit, close, and look up tasks, and read/write per-task "Context" (cross-session AI memory) - so an agent doesn't have to re-learn a task each session.

## Key Features
- Slash commands for fast task management (/nt, /et, /ct, /dt, /did, /doing, /done)
- AI-powered chat assistant that understands natural language and executes task operations
- Open questions tracking linked to tasks for decision tracking
- Team collaboration with role-based access (owner, editor, commenter, viewer)
- Recurring tasks with flexible scheduling
- Deadline management with SLA tracking and overdue alerts
- Productivity scoring, daily recaps, and reporting
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI agent integration (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- JIRA integration with bidirectional sync
- Resource management with text notes and file attachments
- Public task sharing via unique links
- Mermaid diagram support for visual documentation
- Cross-project task planning and unclutter workflow
- Import/export capabilities
- API key authentication for programmatic access
