Setup

Install Gorev in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).

Repository: https://github.com/msenol/Gorev

Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.

This project is currently underactive development. Breaking changes, API modifications, and feature updates may occur frequently. Use with caution in production environments.

Gorev is a powerfulModel Context Protocol (MCP)server written in Go that provides task management capabilities to all MCP-compatible AI editors (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor, Zed, etc.). It combines project management, task tracking, and organization needs with the power of AI assistants to boost your productivity.
- gorev-mcpserver- MCP server written in Go (core component)

- Embedded Web UI 🌐 - React interface embedded in binary (NEW! v0.16.0)
- REST API server (Fiber framework)
- MCP protocol support

Thanks to the MCP protocol, you can connect to the server from any MCP-compatible editor. Thedaemon automatically startson first MCP connection, and the Web UI becomes available athttp://localhost:5082. The VS Code extension provides a rich IDE-integrated experience with automatic daemon management.

Gorev runs as abackground daemon process, providing these key benefits:

- Single Instance Management: Lock file (~/.gorev-daemon/.lock) prevents port conflicts
- Multi-Client Support: Multiple MCP clients (Claude, VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor) can connect simultaneously
- Auto-Start: VS Code extension automatically detects and starts daemon (v0.16.2+)
- Health Monitoring: Real-time status via/api/healthendpoint
- WebSocket Support: Real-time task update events (experimental)

- Lock File:~/.gorev-daemon/.lockcontains PID, port, version, and daemon URL
- REST API Server: 23 endpoints for VS Code extension (Fiber framework)
- MCP Proxy: Forwards stdio MCP protocol requests to internal handlers
- WebSocket Server: Real-time event broadcasting for task updates
- Workspace Manager: Multi-workspace support with SHA256-based IDs

VS Code Integration:The extension automatically manages the daemon lifecycle:
- On activation, checks if daemon is running (reads lock file)
- Starts daemon if not running
- Connects to REST API for all operations
- Optionally shuts down daemon on deactivation (if extension started it)

🔧 MCP Tool Parameter Transformation Fixes (October 6, 2025)

gorev_bulk- All 3 operations now fully functional:

- updateoperation: Properly transforms{ids: [], data: {}}{updates: [{id, ...fields}]}
- transitionoperation: Accepts bothstatusandyeni_durumparameter names for flexibility
- tagoperation: Accepts bothoperationandtag_operationparameter names
- Test result: 100% success rate (5/5 operations passed in production)

gorev_guncelle- Extended to support multiple field updates:

- Can updatestatus(status),priority(priority), or both simultaneously
- At least one parameter required for validation
- Backward compatible with existing code

gorev_search (advanced mode)- Smart query parsing added:

- Example:"durum:devam_ediyor oncelik:yuksek tags:frontend"
- Automatically extracts filters from natural language queries
- Multi-filter support with space-separated key:value pairs
- Works seamlessly with existing filter parameters

VS Code Tree View- Dependency indicators now visible:

- 🔒 (blocked), 🔓 (unblocked), 🔗 (dependents) icons display correctly
- Fixed JSON serialization issue (removedomitemptyfrom dependency counters)
- All dependency relationships now visible in tree structure

Validation: 100% success rate confirmed by Kilocode AI comprehensive test report

🐛 Previous Updates (v0.16.2 - October 5, 2025)

- NPM Binary Update Fix: Fixed critical bug where NPM package upgrades preserved old binaries

- Users upgrading from v0.16.1 or earlier were stuck on v0.15.24 (September 2025)
- Package size reduced from 78.4 MB to 6.9 KB (binaries now always downloaded from GitHub)
- All users now get latest features (REST API, Web UI, VS Code auto-start)

- No manual commands required - daemon auto-starts via lock file detection
- Checks if daemon is running (~/.gorev-daemon/.lock), starts if needed
- Proper database path configuration (workspace/.gorev/gorev.db)
- Shared daemon across all MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf)

- Zero-Configuration: Modern React interface built into Go binary
- Instant Access: Automatically available athttp://localhost:5082
- Full Features: Tasks, projects, templates, subtasks, and dependencies
- Language Sync: Turkish/English switcher synchronized with MCP server
- No Separate Installation: Just runnpx @mehmetsenol/gorev-mcp-server serveand you're ready!

- Isolated Workspaces: Each project folder gets its own task database
- Workspace Switcher: Seamlessly switch between workspaces in Web UI
- Auto-Detection: Automatically detects.gorev/directory in current folder
- SHA256 IDs: Secure workspace identification
- VS Code Integration: Extension auto-registers workspace on activation

- 23 Endpoints: Complete Fiber-based REST API
- VS Code Extension: Migrated from MCP to REST API for better performance
- Type-Safe: 100% TypeScript with zero parsing errors
- Faster: Direct HTTP calls vs. stdio + markdown parsing
- Backward Compatible: MCP protocol still fully supported

- Quick Commands: Usebug,feature,researchinstead of template IDs
- Consistency: Same aliases across all workspaces
- No More UUID Hunting: Human-readable template identifiers
- Documentation: Full guide at
