Question 1

What is Tasktrail?

Accepted Answer

Tasktrail is a private work log for engineers. Once configured, Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP-compatible agents record progress, decisions, and blockers by project and task as they work. It includes a web dashboard and deterministic daily summaries.

Question 2

How do AI agents log automatically?

Accepted Answer

Connect Tasktrail over MCP with OAuth, add one standing instruction to your project, and approve the Tasktrail tools once. The agent can then call tools such as create_trace and create_task while it works—without copy-paste—and every entry keeps its source and project context.

Question 3

Does it work with Claude and Codex?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add Tasktrail to the Claude desktop or web app as a custom connector, or wire it into Claude Code and Codex from the terminal. It works with any MCP-compatible client.

Question 4

Is my work log private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You sign in with Google, and your projects, tasks, and traces are visible only to you. OAuth access tokens are stored hashed at rest and can be revoked at any time.

Question 5

What is MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data. Tasktrail is a remote MCP server, so compatible agents can read and write your work log with your approval.

Question 6

How do daily summaries work?

Accepted Answer

The summarize_day tool groups the day by project and task directly from logged entries. It is deterministic: it reports what actually happened instead of inventing a fresh narrative.

Question 7

How much does Tasktrail cost?
