Tasks: The AI Runtime for Prompts and Tools

I did a quick demo of Tasks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyucWRf5kx0

With just the prompt alone, it handles a webhook form submission, identifies a lead, researches their company, buckets them into the right segment and assigns a rep to follow-up.

This is real software built from a prompt + tool calls. We couldn't do it without WebAssembly and the Model Context Protocol from Anthropic!

Does this primiarly work with Claude for now given MCP?

Good question -- the MCP naming is a little misleading... while Anthropic designed MCP to work in Claude, it's actually an open standard and also is implemented in Sourcegraph Cody, Cursor, Cline, Goose by Blocks, and many other client contexts.

mcp.run Tasks are an MCP client as well, in that they can call tools just like Claude would if provided MCP servers.
