Kanban-style task management for teams

MeisterTask is wiring itself into AI assistants while filling in the admin features enterprises expect

project-managementmcp-integrationcapacity-planningautomationsmobile-parityplan-gating
Current state
MeisterTask ships small, clearly-labelled changes every few weeks — NEW or IMPROVED, one feature at a time. The spring run covered two distinct fronts: an MCP server that exposes projects, tasks and notes to AI assistants, and team workload plus capacity planning tools gated to Business and Enterprise plans. Everything since has been consolidation, including tables in Note, watcher automation, checklist item copying, and universal search reaching the mobile app.
Where it's heading
The product is being extended at both ends of its user base. Upward, workload widgets and a cross-project capacity planner are the features that let it be sold to teams currently choosing heavier tools, and the plan gating makes that intent explicit. Outward, the MCP server treats AI assistants as a new client surface alongside web and mobile. The remaining work reads as parity-closing — mobile catching up to desktop search, Note gaining tables, automations reaching one more field — which is the shape of a product tidying its edges rather than opening a new one.
Prediction
Automation coverage has expanded one trigger and one field at a time, so the next additions will most likely follow that pattern rather than arrive as a redesign. With the MCP server shipped, the open question the entries do not answer is whether it stays read-and-write across all plan tiers or becomes another Business-and-above feature.

Recent moves

    Universal search on mobile

    Search across projects, tasks and notes arrives on mobile, matching what desktop already had. Parity work of exactly the kind that has filled the months since the spring feature push.

    Copy checklist items

    Checklist items can now be copied between tasks, aimed at redistributing work without retyping it. A small convenience, and typical of the incremental additions that surround the larger releases.

    MeisterTask MCP server

    ⚡ SPARK

    The one release in this window that adds a new way to use the product rather than a new thing inside it. Exposing create, update, search and share over MCP makes an AI assistant a first-class client alongside the web and mobile apps.

    Tables in Note

    Note gains table creation and editing, closing a gap that pushed structured comparisons out to other documents. Part of the steady build-out of Note as a place to keep context next to tasks rather than a plain text field.

    Update Watchers via an automation

    Section rules can now add or remove task watchers, extending automations to one more field. Notification routing is a common reason teams script around a tool, so covering it in-product removes a small piece of that pressure.

    Team workload and capacity planning

    A team workload widget on the Home screen and a separate cross-project workload planner, aimed at admins rather than individual contributors. The feed carries this announcement twice on consecutive days; the duplicate entry specifies the gating, with the widget on Business plans and the planner on Enterprise.
