Summary
A hosted endpoint you add in one line.
Because it is a URL rather than a package, the cost of trying it is a config entry — which is what makes it a reasonable way to find out what the Task API can do before you write code against it. Self-hosting gets you the same endpoint behind your own worker.
What it is
A hosted MCP endpoint for Parallel's Task API: start deep research runs or task groups from the client you already use, without writing against the API first.
What you get
- Deep research started from a prompt in your own client
- Task groups initiated the same way
- A way to learn what Parallel's APIs do by using them, and to run small experiments while building production systems on top of them
Requirements
No install: add the remote server to your client with the URL `https://task-mcp.parallel.ai/mcp`. The repository is a proxy to that hosted endpoint; running it locally is `wrangler dev`, which serves at `http://localhost:8787/mcp`.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y mcp-remote https://task-mcp.parallel.ai/mcp
