How an agent connects · 4 tips

/api/tools/taskade.json /tools/taskade.mdMCP get_tool {"slug":"taskade"}

Read docs as Markdown: append .md or send Accept: text/markdown; start at https://www.taskade.com/docs/llms.txt
Sign-up needs a human (Turnstile); after that, a human must create the personal access token in Settings > API
The API base is under /api/, which robots.txt disallows: a robots-respecting agent cannot use it
Hosted MCP (https://www.taskade.com/mcp) takes OAuth with DCR or a personal token, paid workspaces only

Every checkpoint, in detail · 9 checkpoints

DocsHeadlessllms.txt, /docs/llms.txt and every docs page as Markdown (.md URL and Accept: text/markdown). The OpenAPI specs sit under /api/, which robots.txt disallows, so they were not fetched.
Sign upNeeds a humanWeb form only. A visible Cloudflare Turnstile 'Verify you are human' widget sits on the form.
VerifyNot reachedNot reached: no account.
KeyNot reachedPersonal access tokens are made only in the web UI (Settings > API). OAuth dynamic client registration works headless (POST /oauth2/register 201), but a token needs a signed-in user; no device flow. Also, the documented API base www.taskade.com/api/v1 and /api/v2 is disallowed by robots.txt (Disallow: /api/).
First callNot reachedNot reached: no account; the REST/Action API base is robots-disallowed, and the hosted MCP needs a paid workspace.
First actionNot reachedGenerating an app at /create without an account redirects to /signup.
PayNot reachedNo 402 anywhere, no MPP, Stripe Projects or Bazaar listing, no billing API or MCP billing tool in the docs. Upgrades go through Settings > Billing > 'Manage / Update Plan' to the billing portal (docs). We paid nothing: pay_tx.json 'no 402 on the product's own domain asks for USDC on a network we hold a wallet for'. Not reached in the app: no account.
CancelNot reachednot tested: no plan or trial was started. Docs: Settings > Billing > Cancel subscription, two retention screens ('Before you go...', 'Before you cancel, one option'), then the Stripe page; web only.
DeleteNot reachedNo account to delete. Docs: Account settings, type the email, click Delete Account twice; web only, no API route.
