Slack
Turn a message into work with the source conversation attached to its context.
Keep the tools. Connect the work.
Bring Slack conversations, GitHub development work, and your AI agent into the Taskonio workflow. Give tasks the context they need without making another tool the source of truth.
Why it matters
Make the work clearer, not heavier.
Engineering work starts in conversations, moves through development tools, and increasingly involves AI agents. The useful connection is the one that brings that context back to the task, so the team does not have to maintain a second account of what is happening.
Designed around the way real teams decide and deliver.
GitHub
Connect development activity to the Taskonio item it belongs to.
Taskonio MCP
Let a compatible agent work with the Taskonio organization you authorize.
A closer look
How integrations works in Taskonio.
01
Take a Slack conversation into the workflow
Use the Slack integration to turn a message into a Taskonio ticket. Keep the selected message and its source link with the work so the next person can understand where the request came from.
- Create work from a Slack message
- Keep the source conversation available through its link
- Review the ticket context rather than copying an entire conversation
02
Connect GitHub work to the task
Use the GitHub integration to connect branch and pull-request activity with Taskonio work. Refer to the task key in development work so the relationship is explicit.
- Connect development work to an existing Taskonio ticket
- Keep branch and pull-request context close to the task
- Use the task key to identify the work being implemented
03
Work with your agent through MCP
Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or another compatible client to the Taskonio MCP server. After you authorize an organization, the agent can use the available task, workspace, sprint, planning, and AI tools.
- Streamable HTTP at the production Taskonio endpoint
- OAuth authorization with an organization selection step
- A complete setup guide with copyable client configuration
04
Keep the task as the shared reference
An integration supplies context or another way to work with a task. The task still belongs to its team space, with its own hierarchy, properties, discussion, and planning workflow.
- Bring useful source context into the work
- Review the resulting task in Taskonio
- Use the same tables, boards, and task details as the rest of the team
How it works
From setup to useful work.
- 01
Choose the connection
Use Slack for source conversations, GitHub for development context, or MCP for your agent workflow.
- 02
Connect with the right access
Complete the relevant setup with the person who manages access to the tools and the Taskonio organization.
- 03
Keep context with the work
Use the connection in the team’s day-to-day workflow and review the resulting work in Taskonio.
Taskonio’s approach
Connections with a clear purpose
Use the integration that solves the handoff in front of you. There is no need to change the team’s entire toolchain to give a task better context.

ExploreQuestions
Know before you switch.
Which integrations does Taskonio offer?
Taskonio offers Slack and GitHub integrations, plus an MCP server for compatible AI agents.
What does the Slack integration help with?
It helps turn a Slack message into Taskonio work while keeping the source context available on the ticket.
What does the GitHub integration help with?
It connects development activity, including branch and pull-request context, with the corresponding Taskonio task.
Which AI agents can connect to Taskonio?
Use an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf. The Taskonio MCP setup guide explains the connection and authorization steps.
Does an agent get access without authorization?
No. The MCP connection requires Taskonio authorization and an organization selection before the client can use the tools.
Less context lost between tools
Connect the conversations, development work, and agents your team already uses.
