Private todo and MCP workflow

Tasks, context and tool calls for agentic work.

Vue 3ConvexMCP
01

Challenge

Agentic work needs visibility into tasks, context and the tools connected to them.

02

What we did

We built a task module where the work queue connects with MCP-style tool flows.

03

Result

Internal work is easier to track and hand over between people and agents.

Private todo and MCP workflow: how the project was built

Agentic work needs more than a task checkbox. The private task and MCP workflow connects work items with context, tool calls and handoff states between people and agents.

What was built

We built a task module where the work queue connects with MCP-style tool flows.

The project creates a task module where queue records, instructions, context notes and MCP-style tool flow data live together. It supports internal work that moves between manual review and agent execution.

Main modules and user path

M01

Task records hold title, status, priority, owner and expected result, giving every work item a clear contract before it is picked up.

M02

Context fields connect tasks to references, notes and previous decisions so agents or people can start with the right background.

M03

MCP-style tool call records show which tools were used or are available for a task, making execution steps easier to inspect later.

M04

Handoff states separate pending, in progress, review and completed work, helping internal queues stay readable as tasks move between operators.

Architecture and technology decisions

Technical foundation: Vue 3, Convex, MCP. This matters not as a logo list, but as the set of choices that keeps data, state, user actions and future maintenance manageable.

Vue and Convex provide the live task interface and data store. Tools and context are part of the task model, which matters for agent work where process is as important as output.

How it works in a real scenario

In real use, “Private todo and MCP workflow” works as a clear sequence: it starts from the original problem, then the user takes the primary action, follows a clear data path and reaches the result. The experience stays logical instead of being a random set of screens.

The practical value shows where manual work used to be needed: part of the process is automated, responsibilities are clearly separated, and each module does one understandable job. That is what keeps the solution easy to maintain and extend.

Result and lessons

Internal work is easier to track and hand over between people and agents.

Internal work becomes easier to track, review and repeat. People and agents can share one queue with clearer context and fewer hidden steps.
