Planification hebdomadaire avec MCP : ce qui est dû, bloqué et à venir

Generate a comprehensive weekly plan from your Corcava tasks using MCP. This workflow playbook shows you how to list tasks due this week, group them by project, surface blockers, and propose priorities—all through natural language prompts to your AI assistant.

Ce que ce workflow permet

Weekly planning with MCP transforms your task list into an actionable weekly plan:

Résultats clés

  • Complete visibility: See all tasks due this week across all projects
  • Blocker identification: Automatically surface tasks that are blocked or at risk
  • Priority suggestions: Get AI-recommended priorities based on due dates, dependencies, and project importance
  • Project grouping: Organize tasks by project for better context
  • Actionable updates: Optionally update task priorities or status with confirmation

Workflow pas à pas

Step 1: List Tasks Due This Week

Start by asking your AI assistant to list all tasks due this week:

Prompt for Individual Contributors

"List all tasks due this week from my Corcava workspace. Group them by project and show me the task title, due date, status, and assignee for each."

What the AI does:

  1. Calls list_tasks with due_date: "this_week"
  2. Receives task list with project IDs
  3. Calls list_projects to get project names
  4. Groups tasks by project and formats the output

Prompt for Managers

"Show me all tasks due this week across all projects in my workspace. For each task, include: project name, task title, assignee, status, and due date. Group by project and highlight any tasks that are blocked or overdue."

What the AI does:

  1. Calls list_tasks with due_date: "this_week" or due_date: "overdue"
  2. Identifies blocked tasks (status: "blocked")
  3. Groups by project and highlights risks
  4. Presents manager-friendly summary with team context

Step 2: Surface Blockers

Identify tasks that are blocked or at risk:

Blocker Detection Prompt

"From the tasks due this week, identify which ones are blocked (status is 'blocked') or overdue. For each blocked task, show me the task title, project, and when it was last updated. Also check task comments to see if there are any recent updates about blockers."

What the AI does:

  1. Filters tasks with status: "blocked" or due_date: "overdue"
  2. For each blocked task, calls get_task to get full details
  3. Optionally calls list_task_comments to check for blocker context
  4. Presents a blocker summary with context

Step 3: Propose Priorities

Get AI-suggested priorities based on due dates, project importance, and dependencies:

Priority Suggestion Prompt

"Based on the tasks due this week, suggest a priority order. Consider: due dates (earlier = higher priority), project importance, and whether tasks are blocked. Present the top 5 highest-priority tasks and explain why each is important."

What the AI does:

  1. Analyzes task due dates, projects, and status
  2. Ranks tasks by urgency and importance
  3. Presents prioritized list with reasoning
  4. Highlights conflicts or resource constraints

Step 4: Update Priorities (Optional, with Confirmation)

⚠️ Safety: Always Confirm Before Updating

Never let AI update tasks without explicit confirmation. Use this pattern:

  • Preview First: Show what will change before executing
  • Confirmation Token: Require "CONFIRM" before calling update_task
  • Review Changes: Display current vs new priority for each task

Safe Priority Update Prompt

"I want to update the priority of these 3 tasks to 'high': [list task titles]. First, show me the current priority for each task, then show me what will change (Current: medium → New: high). Only update if I type CONFIRM. If I don't type CONFIRM, don't make any changes."

What the AI does:

  1. Calls get_task for each task to read current priority
  2. Shows diff: "Task X: Current priority = medium, New priority = high"
  3. Waits for "CONFIRM"
  4. Only after confirmation, calls update_task for each task
  5. Confirms updates were successful

Complete Workflow Prompts

Here are complete, copy-paste ready prompts for different scenarios:

Individual Contributor: Full Weekly Plan

"Create my weekly plan from Corcava tasks: 1. List all tasks due this week 2. Group them by project 3. Identify any blocked tasks 4. Suggest a priority order for the top 5 tasks 5. Show me the plan organized by project For each task, include: title, due date, status, and project name."

Use this when: You want a complete weekly overview to plan your work

Manager: Team Weekly Overview

"Generate a team weekly plan from Corcava: 1. List all tasks due this week across all projects 2. Group by project and assignee 3. Highlight blocked tasks and overdue items 4. Identify resource conflicts (same person assigned to too many high-priority tasks) 5. Suggest which tasks should be reprioritized or reassigned Present this as a manager-friendly summary with team context."

Use this when: You need to see team workload and identify bottlenecks

Focus Mode: Top 3 Priorities

"From my tasks due this week, identify the top 3 highest-priority items. For each, show me: task title, project, due date, and why it's a priority. Don't update anything—just show me the list."

Use this when: You want a focused list without all the details

Workflow Variants

Variant 1: Project-Focused Planning

If you work primarily on one project, focus your weekly plan on that project:

"Show me all tasks due this week for the [Project Name] project. Group by status (open, in_progress, blocked) and suggest which tasks I should focus on first."

What happens: AI filters by project first, then applies weekly planning logic

Variant 2: Blocker-First Planning

Start with blockers to unblock work before planning new tasks:

"First, show me all blocked tasks due this week. For each blocked task, check the comments to see what's blocking it. Then, show me the remaining unblocked tasks due this week, prioritized by due date."

What happens: AI prioritizes blocker resolution, then shows remaining work

Variant 3: Cross-Project Planning

For managers overseeing multiple projects:

"Create a weekly plan that shows tasks due this week across all projects. For each project, show: project name, number of tasks due, number blocked, and top 3 priorities. Then provide an overall summary of risks and resource allocation."

What happens: AI aggregates across projects and provides executive summary

Safety Patterns

⚠️ Confirmation Rules for Write Operations

When your weekly plan includes updating task priorities, statuses, or assignments:

  • Always preview: Show current state vs proposed changes
  • Require explicit confirmation: Use "CONFIRM" token before any updates
  • Batch updates carefully: Show full list of changes before applying
  • One change at a time: For critical updates, update tasks individually with confirmation

AI Response

Tasks Due This Week (12 total)

Q1 Product Launch Project (5 tasks):

  • Implement login feature (Due: Mar 25, Status: in_progress, Priority: high)
  • Review API design (Due: Mar 26, Status: open, Priority: medium)
  • Write tests for auth (Due: Mar 27, Status: open, Priority: high) - BLOCKED: waiting on login feature

Website Redesign Project (7 tasks):

  • Homepage mockup (Due: Mar 24, Status: in_progress, Priority: high)
  • ...

Blockers Identified (2 tasks):

  • Write tests for auth - blocked by "Implement login feature"

Top 5 Priorities:

  1. Homepage mockup (due today, high priority)
  2. Implement login feature (due tomorrow, blocks other work)
  3. ...

Troubleshooting

No Tasks Due This Week

Symptom: AI reports no tasks found

Possible causes:

  • No tasks have due dates set for this week
  • Tasks are in a different workspace
  • API key doesn't have access to tasks

Fix: Check Corcava to verify tasks have due dates, or try "tasks due this month" instead

Too Many Tasks

Symptom: Response is overwhelming or times out

Possible causes:

  • Hundreds of tasks due this week
  • AI trying to fetch all details at once

Fix: Add filters: "Show me only high-priority tasks due this week" or "Show me tasks due in the next 3 days"
