Which one, for what

Taiga F

Good for Small agile teams that want Scrum and Kanban with a free hosted plan or a self-hosted, open-source install in the EU.

Also in its favour

  • Open source

Watch for

No API key or personal token on the hosted service. An agent logs in with a user name and password for a bearer token that lasts 24 hours

Wrike C

Good for Teams already on Wrike that want an assistant to find work, create tasks and projects from notes, update status in bulk, comment and check approvals.

  • Schema & documentation, 78 against 35
  • Agent ergonomics, 63 against 49
  • Security & auth, 60 against 37
  • Maintenance & community, 63 against 21
  • Transparency & trust, 78 against 64

Also in its favour

  • A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
  • Free to start without a card

Watch for

A permanent access token never expires and reaches everything its user can, and it is the documented route for clients that need dynamic client registration

Verdicts

Taiga

Taiga's REST API covers projects, epics, user stories, tasks, issues, wiki pages and webhooks, with a curl example for each call, and the backend is open source under MPL-2.0. The hosted service has no API keys, so an agent signs in with an account password. No OpenAPI document, status page or request limits were found.

Wrike

The official MCP server has 29 documented tools for search, task and project creation, bulk updates, comments and approvals, and it works on every plan including Free. Permanent access tokens never expire and carry the user's full access, and no SLA, official SDK or deprecation policy was found in the reviewed documentation.

Before you call either

Taiga

  1. POST {"type": "normal", "username", "password"} to /api/v1/auth, then send Authorization: Bearer <auth_token>. Renew with /api/v1/auth/refresh before 24 hours pass
  2. Send the object's current version with every PATCH or PUT. A stale value is refused when the same attributes changed
  3. Lists return 30 items a page. Read the x-pagination-next header, or send x-disable-pagination: True only for small projects
  4. Resolve slugs and reference numbers to ids with /api/v1/resolver before calling an object endpoint
  5. Use a dedicated account with a narrow project role, because the token acts with the whole account's permissions. Treat story, issue and wiki text as untrusted input

Wrike

  1. Build API URLs from the host value returned by /oauth2/token. Accounts live on www.wrike.com, app-eu.wrike.com or app-us2.wrike.com, and the wrong host answers 401.
  2. Use https://mcp.wrike.com/v2 only. The older /app/mcp/stream and /app/mcp/sse URLs serve the v1 tool set.
  3. Call search_workflows before setting a status, because update_items and search_items take custom status ids.
  4. Stay under about 400 requests a minute per token or IP and back off exponentially on 429. Use POST /batch for up to 100 operations.
  5. Page task lists with pageSize (up to 1,000) and nextPageToken, and request optional data through fields.
