Overview

ATLAS is a comprehensive MCP server built on a three-node architecture (Projects, Tasks, Knowledge) that provides structured task management for LLM agents. It leverages Neo4j for graph database capabilities, enabling sophisticated relationship tracking between entities, dependency management, and unified search functionality. The server offers both standard I/O and HTTP transport modes, with experimental web UI for visual management. With 475 stars and recent activity, it appears to be a well-maintained, production-ready solution for complex workflow management.
