quire.addChatComment
Add a comment to a chat channel by OID, or by project ID and chat ID.
LABSCO SUMMARY
This is the whole Quire object model rather than a task-adding shortcut, which makes it as usable for migration and reporting as for daily work — and equally usable for destroying a project.
Deletion is stated as irreversible on tasks, comments, documents, sublists, chat channels and stored values, and quire.deleteTask takes every subtask with it; nothing in the tool layer asks for confirmation first. The dual addressing helps once you hold OIDs and gets in the way before you do, so a session tends to start at quire.listProjects or a search and collect identifiers from there. Custom statuses are the feature worth planning around: they let the board match a real workflow, and deleting a status silently reverts its tasks to To-Do.
What it is
A Quire workspace client of 61 tools reaching organizations, projects, tasks, tags, custom statuses, comments, chat channels, documents, sublists, attachments and a key-value store.
What you get
- Tasks addressable either way: quire.getTask and quire.updateTask accept a project ID plus task ID or a task OID alone, and quire.listTasks returns root-level tasks unless parentTaskOid asks for subtasks.
- Position decided at creation: quire.createTask makes a root task or a subtask, while quire.createTaskAfter and quire.createTaskBefore place a task at the same level as a reference task.
- Search that widens by scope: quire.searchTasks covers a project, quire.searchFolderTasks a folder, and quire.searchOrganizationTasks every project in an organization, each filtering on keyword, assigneeId, priority, status and tagId.
- Workflow stages of your own: quire.createStatus, quire.updateStatus and quire.deleteStatus manage custom statuses beyond To-Do (0) and Complete (100), which are always available.
- Export in a single call: quire.exportProject writes a project's tasks as JSON or CSV and reports progress when the client supplies a progressToken.
- Discussion and evidence together: quire.addTaskComment and quire.addChatComment post to a task or a chat channel, pinned or not, and quire.uploadTaskAttachment and quire.uploadCommentAttachment attach a file by content, filename and mimeType.
- A key-value store travelling with the workspace: quire.putStorageValue writes by name, quire.getStorageValue reads it back, and quire.listStorageEntries returns everything under a prefix.
- Follower lists edited rather than replaced: quire.updateOrganization and quire.updateProject take addFollowers and removeFollowers as well as a complete followers set.
Requirements
A Quire account and an OAuth client registered against it — QUIRE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and QUIRE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET. quire.whoami exists to confirm which account the session is connected as.
Setup effort
One command plus credentials — npx -y quire-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Filing a batch of work into a project without opening the app
Pick the project, create the tasks with assignees, due dates, priority and tags already set, and correct anything that came out wrong.
02
Finding every task about a topic across an organization
Search past project boundaries when you know the keyword but not where the work was filed, then open the ones that matter.
03
Getting a project out for a backup or a spreadsheet
Export the tasks in the format the next step expects, and see progress while a large project is still being written out.
04
Fitting Quire to a workflow that is not To-Do then Complete
Add the stages your team actually uses, then move work into them.
05
Inserting a step into an ordered checklist
Put the new task exactly where it belongs in a sequence rather than appending it and reordering by hand.
06
Leaving a record on a task with the file that explains it
Post the finding where the work lives and attach the evidence to the same task, pinning it if the next person needs to see it first.
