Quickstart

Sign up, create a project, and connect an AI agent to TAM over MCP: a step-by-step guide from your first task to your first AI-executed one.

Connect

  1. Sign up and create a project, real or a throwaway test one; everything below happens inside it.
  2. Add one task yourself from the board first. It takes thirty seconds and gets you familiar with statuses and priorities, so you can tell at a glance whether the AI actually did what you asked later.

Server URL: Published when the global gateway launches

First call

Ask your agent to turn a goal into real tasks on the board:

Prompt

tam, I need to [goal]. Plan out the tasks and add them to the board with a description, status, priority, and estimate for each.

The agent creates actual issues through TAM's MCP tools, the same objects you'd get creating them by hand. Refresh the board and they're there: titled, described, and ready to work.

Assign work

Pick one of the tasks the agent just created and ask it to actually do the work, not just plan it:

Prompt

Do task [number]. Analyze the possible approaches and write them up in a comment, assign the task to me, and move it to In Progress.

You can hand over several tasks at once by pasting their links directly in the same message.

Open the task on the board afterward like you would any other: read the status, the comment the agent left, and the change history. Every read and write an agent makes lands in the workspace audit log, so you always know which AI changed what, and when, whether it connected as you personally or as a service account.

From here, a real task from your own backlog is the natural next step, or look at Agent Skills so you don't have to spell out a prompt this detailed every time.
