How to Set Up and Use Agentic Tools
Agentic Tools MCP Server is a comprehensive task management and agent memory system for AI assistants, providing tools for hierarchical project and task tracking, PRD parsing, complexity analysis, and persistent per-project memory storage. It stores all data locally in a .agentic-tools-mcp/ directory within each project, making agent context fully portable and version-control friendly. Developers use it to give Claude and other AI coding agents structured, stateful awareness of project tasks and past decisions across sessions.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- npx available in your PATH (included with Node.js)
Run the server directly with npx
No global install is required. The server can be launched on demand via npx. The --claude flag enables a global storage mode that centralizes all data in your home directory instead of per-project directories.
npx -y @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcpAdd the server to Claude Desktop
Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the agentic-tools entry. Use the --claude flag for centralized storage across all projects.
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentic-tools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp", "--claude"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop to load the new server. The server exposes over 30 tools covering project management, task hierarchy, PRD parsing, AI agent tools, and memory management.
Create your first project
Ask Claude to create a project. All tools require a workingDirectory parameter unless you are using the --claude global storage flag.
Add tasks and memories
Use natural language to add tasks with priorities, complexity scores, estimated hours, and tags. Store agent memories for preferences, decisions, and context that should persist across sessions.
Agentic Tools Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration using the global --claude flag for centralized cross-project storage.
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentic-tools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp", "--claude"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts that use the project management, task tracking, and agent memory tools.
- "Create a new project called 'API Refactor' for my current working directory."
- "Add a task 'Migrate authentication endpoints to OAuth 2.0' with priority 9 and estimated 8 hours."
- "What is the next task I should work on based on priority and dependencies?"
- "Analyze the complexity of the remaining tasks in my project."
- "Remember that I prefer to write integration tests before refactoring shared utilities."
- "Search my agent memories for anything related to database migration decisions."Troubleshooting Agentic Tools
Tools fail with 'workingDirectory is required' error
Without the --claude flag, every tool call requires a workingDirectory parameter pointing to your project root. Either pass the path explicitly in your prompts, or add the --claude flag to your server args to use global centralized storage instead.
Data stored in one session is not visible in the next
Check whether you are mixing --claude and non---claude modes across sessions. Without --claude, data is stored in .agentic-tools-mcp/ relative to the workingDirectory you provide. Ensure you are using a consistent workingDirectory value or switch to --claude for global storage.
npx downloads the package on every launch, causing slow startup
Install the package globally with 'npm install -g @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp' and update your config to use 'command': 'agentic-tools-mcp' instead of npx. This eliminates the download delay on each MCP client startup.
