TaskLite

List the organizations the authenticated user belongs to. Use the returned id as organizationId in other tools.

Read or change how EXTERNAL users (people who sign up to your app through TaskLite auth) get into an organization. They have two ways in, and both obey the policy below: email and password (POST /auth/register-external with this organizationId, then POST /auth/login), or Google (POST /auth/google-external with a Google ID token and this organizationId). Either way the answer carries a token the ap

List projects in an organization. The API returns 50 per page, an organization with more than that needs page 2 and beyond, so check the returned total before assuming a project does not exist.

List the boards inside a project, id, name, description. Every other board tool needs a boardId, and this is the only way to discover one without being handed a URL.

Create a project (a business process container). Boards with data live inside projects.

Create a board (a data table) inside a project. Add typed columns with create_column afterwards. kind: "tasks" (default) also gives the board the built-in task columns, status, priority, assignee, due date, tags, for work people track; "data" creates a plain table with only the columns you add, for records such as customers, products or orders (requires a TaskLite server from 2026-09-06; older ser

Add a typed column to a board. Valid types: text, rich_text, number, status, date, datetime, duration, people, checkbox, dropdown, label, priority, link, email, phone, relation, lookup, rollup, formula, rating, currency, file. Choose by meaning, date for dates, phone for phones, number/currency for amounts, dropdown/status (with settings.options as an array of labels) for closed choices; text is f

Get a board with its full column schema (ids, names, types, settings). Call this before creating items with cells.

Rename a board or change its description. Structure (columns) is changed with update_column / delete_column / reorder_columns.

Delete a board with every item on it. Destructive and not undoable, confirm with the user first, and prefer delete_column when only part of the model is wrong.

Delete a project with every board, column and row inside it. Destructive: confirm with the user first, and name the project in the confirmation. The project goes to the organization recycle bin, so it can be restored from the admin until it is emptied.

Change a column after the fact: rename it, change its type (e.g. number -> currency), replace settings (dropdown options), or set isRequired / isHidden. A type change converts existing values (number↔currency, text→number/date/checkbox, anything→text) and clears the ones that cannot convert; the response carries conversion: { converted, cleared }. settings.validation rules apply here too.

Delete a column and every value stored in it. Destructive, confirm with the user first. Use update_column when the column is right but its name, type or options are wrong.

Set the display order of a board's columns. Pass every column id in the wanted order (get_board_schema lists them).

The whole project as JSON, boards, columns with settings, items with their cells keyed by column id. For migrations, backups and reading a system back. Items are capped per board for the model's sake; the REST endpoint GET /organizations/{orgId}/projects/{projectId}/export.json returns everything.

List items (rows) of a board, including their cell values. Returns all items unless limit/page are given (the API defaults to 50 per page when unpaged, so the tool pages through and concatenates). Narrow the result with search, status, priority and sort instead of fetching everything. This is the admin view; the REST endpoints of a published app take a fuller grammar, filter[column][gte], relation

Create an item (row) with all of its data in one call. cells maps columnId -> value (use get_board_schema for column ids); every cell is saved with the row. Use set_cell only for later edits.

Update item fields (title, description, status, priority, dueDate, tags).

Set a single cell value on an item by columnId.

Delete an item. Destructive, confirm with the user before calling.

List the comments (the correspondence thread) on an item, oldest first. Each comment includes its author and any @mentions. Needs projectId and itemId (get itemId from query_items).

Post a comment on an item's thread. To notify people, pass their user ids in mentionedUserIds (each also appears as an @mention). attachmentIds references already-uploaded files. Needs projectId and itemId.

Edit the text of an existing comment. Only the author can edit their comment. Needs projectId, itemId and the commentId.

Delete a comment from an item thread. Destructive, confirm with the user before calling. Needs projectId, itemId and the commentId.

Create a link that puts files onto an item from outside TaskLite: the customer's photos, a signed contract, a logo, a build zip. Returns an address like https://app.tasklite.net/upload/<token> that anyone you hand it to can use with no account, no login and no API key; pass clientEmail and TaskLite emails the link for you. What arrives lands as attachments on that item, and list_uploaded_files rea

The files attached to an item, including everything that came in through a request_file_upload link, each with a download URL that is signed and short lived (mint a fresh one by calling again). Also lists the upload links on the item and how many files each has taken, which is how to tell whether the person you asked has delivered.

Close an upload link before it expires, so the address stops accepting files. The files already uploaded stay on the item. Use it as soon as the material is in, because until then anyone holding the link can add more.

Create an app, a named API surface over the boards of a project, for an external frontend. Then add endpoints and an API key.

Whether an app can send push notifications to phones, and how many devices are registered. Push goes out through the customer's OWN Firebase project, so it has to be configured once per app before send_push automations do anything. This tool never returns the key.

Send one real push notification to the given app users, to prove the chain works before an automation depends on it. Confirm with the user first: this reaches actual phones.

Publish an app, required before its API endpoints accept external calls.

Expose a board as a REST endpoint of an app: /apps/{appSlug}/api/{slug}. exposedColumns limits which columns are readable/writable. rowLevelSecurity.enabled makes the endpoint per-user: the developer's server sends `X-App-User: <their user id>` next to the API key, and the endpoint returns, updates and deletes ONLY that user's rows (401 without the header). Use it whenever the app has its own user

List an app's REST endpoints, slug, board, allowed methods, and how many columns each exposes. An endpoint exposing 0 columns is broken: it returns only item metadata and silently discards writes.

Change an existing endpoint, most often to set exposedColumns on one that was created without them. Get the endpoint id from list_app_endpoints and the column ids from get_board_schema.

Delete an endpoint of an app for good: /apps/{appSlug}/api/{slug} stops answering at once and the endpoint cannot be brought back (create it again with create_app_endpoint). The board and its rows are not touched. Confirm with the user first: a frontend that calls this endpoint breaks. To take an endpoint offline and keep its definition, use update_app_endpoint with isActive false instead (list_ap

Read or change the settings object of an app. Call with only appId to read. To change, pass set: the keys in it are MERGED into the current settings (objects merge key by key at every depth, arrays and plain values replace, null removes a key). The server itself does not merge: PATCH replaces the whole settings object with what it is sent, so this tool reads the app, merges, and writes the full ob

List the end users of an app: everyone who ever called it with X-App-User or signed in to it with a code. Each has userId (the id link_app_user, list_app_user_links and send_test_push take), externalId (the developer's own id for them, or null for a user who signed in by code), name, source (api or otp), role (viewer, editor or submitter; editor when never set), isActive, lastSeenAt and itemCount

Create an invite code for an app (8 characters shown as XXXX-XXXX, typed without regard to case or the dash). The person signs up or signs in through the app with the code: the app sends it as inviteCode with POST /auth/otp/verify, /auth/register-external or /auth/google-external, after it may check it with POST /auth/invites/check. An invite does one or both of two things, and must do at least on

List the invite codes of an app, newest first (the latest 200): the ones created with create_app_invite and the ones the app's own users minted through a relation endpoint with allowInvites (createdVia admin or app). Each carries id, code, itemId, role, label, maxUses, useCount, expiresAt, revokedAt and status: active, used (no uses left), expired or revoked.

Revoke an invite code so nobody else can sign up with it. People who already used it stay linked to their row and keep their access; to cut one of them off use unlink_app_user. Cannot be undone, create a new invite instead. Requires organization owner or admin. Get the invite id (not the code) from list_app_invites.

Check whether an invite code works right now, the way an app does before sign-up (POST /auth/invites/check, the same public route, limited to 10 calls a minute per address). A working code answers { valid: true, organizationId, app: { name, slug }, label, expiresAt }; anything else (unknown, revoked, expired, used up, its row deleted, its app switched off or deleted) answers only { valid: false },

Link an existing user of an app to a row, so the user "is" that row for every endpoint in row-level security mode "relation": link a coach to his Coaches row and he reaches the trainees whose Coach column points at it. This is the manual form of what an invite code does at sign-up; use it for someone who already has an account (find the userId with list_app_users). A user may be linked to several

List the rows one user of an app is linked to, oldest first: each link has itemId, source (invite or admin) and createdAt. These are the rows the user "is" under row-level security mode "relation". A user can also stand for a row with no link at all, through identityPhoneColumn or identityEmailColumn; those matches are computed on every request and do not appear here.

Remove the link between a user of an app and a row: the user stops being that row, and at once loses the rows of every relation endpoint they reached through it. The account, the row and the user's app access are not touched, and nothing is deleted. A user matched to the row by identityPhoneColumn or identityEmailColumn still reaches it; change the phone or email in the row to end that. Requires o

Create an API key for an app. SECURITY: the key must live server-side only (env var, Next.js API routes), never in browser code. If the app has its own users, the server also sends `X-App-User: <user id>` with the key so per-user endpoints know who is acting.

Build a whole backend in one call from a spec you compose: the project, its boards, their typed columns (including relations between the boards), optional sample rows, and optionally a published REST API with one endpoint per board and a server-side key. Use it whenever the user describes a system ("a backend for my repair shop: customers, orders, payments") instead of calling create_project, crea

Create an automation on a board: when something happens, do something. The most useful action here is http_request, which calls an external API and writes the answer back into columns, pair it with the "scheduled" trigger and the board keeps itself up to date (prices, exchange rates, shipment status, weather). Triggers: item_created, status_changed, column_value_changed, date_approaching, schedule

Change an existing automation: its actions, conditions, trigger config or name, or switch it off with isActive false. Fields left out stay as they are; actions and conditions, when given, replace the whole list. Use it to fix an automation instead of creating a second one next to it. Get the id from list_automations.

List the automations on a board, so you can see what already runs before adding another.

List the apps in the organization, id, slug, status. Call this first when you need an app id: the slug (app-xxxxxx) is what shows up in URLs and in generated code, and this is how you map it back to the app.

Get the machine-readable spec of an app: base URL, endpoints, methods, fields, auth. Two formats: "tasklite" (default), the compact shape the frontend prompts are built from, and "openapi", a standard OpenAPI 3.1 document for developers and other tools. When the user asks for the OpenAPI spec, or wants to hand the API to a developer, pass format "openapi". appId accepts either the app UUID or its

Get a ready-made prompt describing the app backend, for pasting into a frontend generator (v0/bolt/lovable/cursor). appId accepts the app UUID or its slug (app-xxxxxx), use list_apps to find it.

Full-text search across the projects, boards and items of the organization. Returns { results: [{ id, title, url }] }, the shape ChatGPT connectors and deep research expect; pass a result id to fetch for the full record. When you already know the board, query_items is cheaper and complete.

One project, board or item in full, by the id search returned (project:<id>, board:<projectId>:<boardId>, item:<projectId>:<boardId>:<itemId>) or by an app URL path. Returns { id, title, text, url, metadata }, the ChatGPT fetch contract; text is the record as JSON.

Deploy a static frontend to TaskLite hosting and get a live URL https://{slug}.tasklite.dev (HTTPS, auto-published on first deploy, versions kept for rollback_deployment). Hand over the frontend in ONE of three ways: `files`, the files inline (path + content), the way to go from ChatGPT or any hosted client: write index.html and its assets, then deploy in the same turn; `zipUrl`, a public https UR

List the hosted-frontend deployments of an app, versions, which one is live, and the public URL.

Read back what a hosted frontend version is made of: every file with its size and its URL on that version, and the full text of the text files (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG...). This is how a new conversation continues a site an earlier one built: "take my Krispool site and keep going" starts here, not from scratch. For a site written by hand the files ARE the source. For a bundled build (Vite, React)

Point the live URL back at a previous deployment version (see list_deployments for available versions).
