## FAQ

### How does the Taskade MCP server authenticate?

The hosted server uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration; clients that cannot do OAuth can send a Taskade personal access token as a Bearer token.

### Do I need a paid Taskade plan to use MCP?

Yes, MCP access is part of every paid Taskade plan (Starter and up); on the Free plan list_spaces returns no workspaces.

### Can I generate MCP tools from my own OpenAPI spec?

Yes, the repo includes an OpenAPI Codegen package that generates MCP tools from any OpenAPI spec, not only Taskade's.

### Can an AI client run my Taskade automations?

Yes, the run_flow tool starts one run of an automation that is On and set to start "When asked", and each run counts toward the plan's monthly automation runs.
