TaskSmith MCP

A production-grade MCP server that enables repeatable command execution, script persistence, audit trails, and lifecycle management across Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash/Zsh).

Features

• Save & reuse scripts with sensible filenames in-repo
• Auto-commit any script add/update/delete and create annotated tags
• TTL (time-to-live) per script with automatic expiry
• Run history & outputs with browsing and search capabilities
• CWD-independent execution with proper repo root resolution
• Security hardening with allowlists, prechecks, dry-run mode
• CLI wrapper support for scripts to run independently
