TaScan MCP Server

AI agent integration for TaScan — the closed-loop autonomous operations protocol. Manage projects, events, tasks, workers, QR codes, templates, completion reports, and AI-powered issue resolution through Claude, GitHub Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI client.

Task. Scan. Done.

What is TaScan?

TaScan is a zero-download task assignment and verification platform for physical-world work. Workers scan a QR code, complete tasks with photo verification, and managers get real-time completion reports — no app download, no login, no training required.

When something breaks, AI analyzes the issue, generates fix instructions, and dispatches them to the right worker — closing the loop autonomously in under 10 seconds.

Industries: live events, construction, hospitality, warehousing, property management, healthcare, aviation, FEMA disaster response, and more.

Quickest Start: Claude.ai / Claude Mobile

No install required. Add TaScan as a custom connector in Claude:

1. Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
2. Enter: https://app.tascan.io/mcp
3. First time you use a tool, sign in with your TaScan email and password

That's it. Works on claude.ai and Claude mobile. Same sign-in experience as GitHub, Netlify, and Supabase connectors.

Installation (Claude Desktop / Claude Code)

npm install tascan-mcp

Or run directly with npx:

npx tascan-mcp

Configuration

Environment Variables

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tascan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tascan-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TASCAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add tascan -- npx -y tascan-mcp

Then set your API key in the environment.

Remote (claude.ai / Claude Mobile)

TaScan MCP is also available as a remote server — no install, no API key needed:

https://app.tascan.io/mcp

Add as a custom connector in Claude (Settings > Connectors). When you first use a tool, you'll be redirected to sign in with your TaScan email and password — just like connecting GitHub or Netlify. OAuth 2.0 with PKCE handles everything automatically.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Set up a construction site inspection

User: Create a construction project for the Downtown Tower site and set up a daily safety inspection with tasks for PPE check, fall protection, scaffolding inspection, and fire extinguisher check. Make all tasks safety checkpoints that require photos.

Claude will:
1. Call tascan_create_project with name "Downtown Tower" and location "123 Main St"
2. Call tascan_create_event with name "Daily Safety Inspection"
3. Call tascan_add_tasks with 4 safety checkpoint tasks requiring photos
4. Call tascan_generate_qr to create a scannable QR code for the foreman

Example 2: AI-powered autonomous issue resolution

User: Check if there are any open issues on the Marriott load-in and have TaScan fix them automatically.

Claude will:
1. Call tascan_list_issues to find open issues
2. Call tascan_auto_resolve for each issue — AI analyzes root cause, generates fix tasks, and dispatches instructions to the nearest qualified worker via SMS
3. Report back with resolution status and confidence scores

Example 3: Use templates to quickly deploy an event

User: We have a warehouse receiving shipment coming in tomorrow. Set up the standard receiving checklist.

Claude will:
1. Call tascan_list_templates with category "logistics" to find available templates
2. Call tascan_create_project for the warehouse
3. Call tascan_create_event for the receiving session
4. Call tascan_apply_template with the "warehouse-receiving" template slug
5. Call tascan_generate_qr for the receiving dock crew

Example 4: Analyze and triage field issues

User: We have 5 open issues on the concert setup. Analyze them all and tell me which ones are most urgent.

Claude will:
1. Call tascan_list_issues to get all open issues
2. Call tascan_analyze_issue for each one — AI classifies severity, root cause probability, and urgency score
3. Rank by urgency and recommend which to auto-resolve vs which need human attention

Task Types

Tasks support multiple response types:

Tasks can also be flagged as:

• Safety checkpoints (is_safety_checkpoint: true) — highlighted in red, cannot be skipped
• Photo required (requires_photo: true) — worker must attach a photo to complete

Getting an API Key

1. Log in to the TaScan Admin Portal
2. Navigate to Team in the sidebar
3. Scroll to API Keys
4. Click Generate API Key
5. Copy the key (it's only shown once)
6. Set it as TASCAN_API_KEY in your environment

API keys are scoped to your organization and support rate limiting (60 requests/minute).

Troubleshooting

"Connection failed" or OAuth redirect issues

• Verify you're using the correct URL: https://app.tascan.io/mcp
• Clear your browser cache and try reconnecting
• If using Claude Desktop, restart the app after adding the connector

"Unauthorized" or 401 errors (local npm install)

• Regenerate your API key in Admin Portal > Team > API Keys
• Confirm TASCAN_API_KEY is set in your environment (not just in the config file)
• Keys are organization-scoped — make sure you're using a key from the correct org

Tools not showing up in Claude

• Disconnect and reconnect the TaScan connector
• For Claude Code: run claude mcp list to verify the server is registered
• Check that your TaScan account has an active organization (free tier is fine)

"Rate limited" errors

• Default limit is 60 requests/minute per API key
• Pro and Business tiers have higher limits
• Batch operations (like tascan_add_tasks) are more efficient than individual calls

Task completions not appearing

• Workers must submit via the task link (QR scan or direct URL)
• Photo-required tasks won't show as complete until the photo uploads
• Check the event's response mode (single vs. multi-response)

Photo evidence links

• photo_url is the raw storage object path (stable, never changes). photo_signed_url is a fetchable HTTPS link that expires after ~1 hour (server default TASCAN_PHOTO_URL_TTL=3600). Re-run the read tool for a fresh link; never store the signed URL.
• photo_signed_url: null with a non-null photo_url means signing was unavailable at read time (storage hiccup). The read still succeeds — retry for the link.

Changelog

v3.12.0 — 2026-09-12

• tascan_send_task_email and tascan_assess_condition now send the caller's API key (the TaScan functions behind them require it after the S99 security sweep). No tool additions — still 69 tools.

v3.11.0 — 2026-09-11

• Signed photo URLs in every completion payload. Photo evidence was invisible to AI agents: photo_url was a bare private-bucket path with no host or token. Every read path that returns a completion now also returns photo_signed_url (short-lived, default 1h, tunable via TASCAN_PHOTO_URL_TTL), null when there is no photo. Covered: tascan_get_task (task + subtask completions), tascan_get_report (new per-task photos[] when include_responses is true, replacing the bare [+photo] marker), tascan_list_subtasks, tascan_query_responses, tascan_list_issues / issue analysis (issue + injury photos), tascan_zone_compliance (PPE checkpoint photos), tascan_condition_history (assessment + baseline photos).
• One batched storage signing call per response (a 40-task list fires one request, not 40). Signing failures log and degrade to photo_signed_url: null with the raw path intact; the tool call never fails.
• Single shared signing helper on the server (photo-sign-lib) now backs the API, the photo proxy used by the Completion / Client / Project / Evidence Pack reports, and every AI vision fetcher, so URL construction cannot drift again.
• Remote endpoint serverInfo.version now reads from this package instead of a stale hardcoded string.

v3.10.0 — 2026-09-03

• 69 tools: invoices, P2P worker payments, hazard zones with AI-verified PPE checkpoints, full RLS lockdown, agent claims.
