Gorev MCP Server - Modern task management system for AI assistants via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

🇹🇷 Turkish: Task management with natural language support | 🇺🇸 English: Full bilingual support

✨ What's New in v0.16.3

Daemon Architecture - Revolutionary background process with multi-client support:

• 🔄 Single daemon serves all MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf)
• 🚀 Auto-start on first MCP connection - zero manual setup
• 🔒 Lock file mechanism ensures single instance
• 🌐 Multi-workspace support with SHA256-based isolation
• ⚡ 30% faster startup, 15-20% memory reduction

Upgrade is automatic - NPM package now includes version-aware binary checking:

• Fresh install: Uses bundled binaries (offline support)
• Upgrade: Automatically downloads new binaries
• Best of both worlds: Offline + reliable upgrades

🚀 Quick Start

Using npx (Recommended)

No installation required! Daemon auto-starts on first MCP connection:

npx @mehmetsenol/gorev-mcp-server@latest mcp-proxy

MCP Configuration

Add to your mcp.json configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gorev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@mehmetsenol/gorev-mcp-server@latest",
        "mcp-proxy"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOREV_LANG": "tr"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The mcp-proxy command automatically starts the daemon in background if not running.
