New in Orsane: A public API and an MCP server for AI clients

Updates May 8, 2026

Orsane now has a public REST API, and a hosted MCP server that AI clients like Claude and Cursor can connect to. Both are live today, for every organization.

The REST API

The REST API gives external tools direct access to your tasks, lists, users, and task statuses. Useful if you want to push tasks in from a form, sync them out to a dashboard, or hook Orsane up to anything else you’re already using.

There’s also a “Try it out” Swagger UI you can run live against your own workspace. Full reference is in the API docs.

The MCP server

For most teams this is going to be the more interesting half. The MCP server lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any other MCP client read and edit tasks in your Orsane workspace on your behalf. You sign in once in the browser, and from then on the assistant can do the same things you’d do manually.

A few ideas to start with:

  • Turn meeting notes into tasks: Paste a transcript into Claude and ask it to create the action items as tasks, in the right list, with assignees and due dates.
  • Plan your week: Ask “what’s overdue across all my clients?” or “what should I pick up first tomorrow?” without leaving Claude or Cursor.
  • Bulk-create from a kickoff doc: Drop a proposal or brief into the chat and have it generate the tasks and lists in one shot, instead of typing them one by one.
  • Quick edits on the go: “Move the homepage review to next Tuesday and reassign it to Sara.” Same result as clicking through, just faster to say.

Anything the AI does shows up live for everyone else, the same as edits made in the web app.

Setup and the full tool list are in the MCP docs.

If you build something interesting with either of these, we’d love to see it. Drop a note at hello@orsane.app. Not using Orsane yet? Start your free trial and see how lightweight task management should feel.
