Full Release Notes
### Minor Changes
- [#1181](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1181) [`a69d8c9`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/a69d8c91dc9205a3fdaf9d32276144fa3bcad55d) Thanks [@karol-f](https://github.com/karol-f)! - Add configurable MCP tool loading to optimize LLM context usage
You can now control which Task Master MCP tools are loaded by setting the `TASK_MASTER_TOOLS` environment variable in your MCP configuration. This helps reduce context usage for LLMs by only loading the tools you need.
**Configuration Options:**
- `all` (default): Load all 36 tools
- `core` or `lean`: Load only 7 essential tools for daily development
- Includes: `get_tasks`, `next_task`, `get_task`, `set_task_status`, `update_subtask`, `parse_prd`, `expand_task`
- `standard`: Load 15 commonly used tools (all core tools plus 8 more)
- Additional tools: `initialize_project`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `expand_all`, `add_subtask`, `remove_task`, `generate`, `add_task`, `complexity_report`
- Custom list: Comma-separated tool names (e.g., `get_tasks,next_task,set_task_status`)
**Example .mcp.json configuration:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"task-master-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "task-master-ai"],
"env": {
"TASK_MASTER_TOOLS": "standard",
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
For complete details on all available tools, configuration examples, and usage guidelines, see the [MCP Tools documentation](https://docs.task-master.dev/capabilities/mcp#configurable-tool-loading).

- [#1323](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1323) [`dc6652c`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/dc6652ccd2b50b91eb55d92899ebf70c7b4d6601) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Fix MCP server compatibility with Draft-07 clients (Augment IDE, gemini-cli, gemini code assist)
- Resolves #1284
**Problem:**
- MCP tools were using Zod v4, which outputs JSON Schema Draft 2020-12
- MCP clients only support Draft-07
- Tools were not discoverable in gemini-cli and other clients
**Solution:**
- Updated all MCP tools to import from `zod/v3` instead of `zod`
- Zod v3 schemas convert to Draft-07 via FastMCP's zod-to-json-schema
- Fixed logger to use stderr instead of stdout (MCP protocol requirement)
This is a temporary workaround until FastMCP adds JSON Schema version configuration.
