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

Prérequis
Before using this workflow, ensure you have:

- API key with read access to tasks and projects
- Tasks with due dates set in Corcava
- For write operations: API key with write permissions and confirmation patterns enabled
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
What the AI does:
- Calls
list_taskswithdue_date: "this_week" - Receives task list with project IDs
- Calls
list_projectsto get project names - Groups tasks by project and formats the output
Prompt for Managers
What the AI does:
- Calls
list_taskswithdue_date: "this_week"ordue_date: "overdue" - Identifies blocked tasks (status: "blocked")
- Groups by project and highlights risks
- Presents manager-friendly summary with team context
Step 2: Surface Blockers
Identify tasks that are blocked or at risk:
Blocker Detection Prompt
What the AI does:
- Filters tasks with
status: "blocked"ordue_date: "overdue" - For each blocked task, calls
get_taskto get full details - Optionally calls
list_task_commentsto check for blocker context - 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
What the AI does:
- Analyzes task due dates, projects, and status
- Ranks tasks by urgency and importance
- Presents prioritized list with reasoning
- 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
What the AI does:
- Calls
get_taskfor each task to read current priority - Shows diff: "Task X: Current priority = medium, New priority = high"
- Waits for "CONFIRM"
- Only after confirmation, calls
update_taskfor each task - Confirms updates were successful
Complete Workflow Prompts
Here are complete, copy-paste ready prompts for different scenarios:
Individual Contributor: Full Weekly Plan
Use this when: You want a complete weekly overview to plan your work
Manager: Team Weekly Overview
Use this when: You need to see team workload and identify bottlenecks
Focus Mode: Top 3 Priorities
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:
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:
What happens: AI prioritizes blocker resolution, then shows remaining work
Variant 3: Cross-Project Planning
For managers overseeing multiple projects:
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

User Prompt
AI Response
Tasks Due This Week (12 total)

- 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

- ...
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"
