MCP task boards still feel hacked together

This is less a product review than a signal that agent infrastructure still has a missing primitive: shared task systems designed for both API-first automation and human oversight.

• –The complaint is consistent across tools: great human UX does not translate into reliable agent workflows when every state change is hidden behind nested schemas and abstractions.
• –NocoDB comes closest because its Airtable-like model is easier for agents to manipulate, but weak board UX means it still is not the obvious default.
• –The comments point toward simpler, agent-native patterns like wrapping Taskwarrior with MCP or building a lightweight Postgres-plus-vector-search board instead of forcing agents through legacy PM tools.
• –If agents are going to own real workflows, task boards probably need built-in semantic search, dedupe, and simpler state transitions rather than more enterprise project-management surface area.
