What is the difference between Grafizum and Claude Task Master?

Task Master is a command-line tool and MCP server that turns a product requirements document into a task list inside one repository. Grafizum is a hosted dashboard: several agents and several projects share one board, with a review queue and a record of every change.

Does Grafizum generate tasks from a requirements document?

Not by itself. Grafizum stores and shows tasks. Your agent can read a document and create the tasks on the board in one call, but the planning is done by the agent, not by Grafizum.

Does Grafizum need a model API key?

No. Grafizum does not ask for a model API key. Your own agent does the work with your own subscription, and connects to Grafizum with OAuth.

When Task Master is the better choice

You start from a written requirements document and want it split into ordered tasks with dependencies.
You work in one repository and want the tasks to live next to the code.
You do not need a visual board or a shared overview.

When Grafizum is the better choice

You run several agents or several projects and want one screen for all of them.
You want to see finished work in a review queue instead of reading terminal output.
You want a record of which agent changed what.
You want to check progress from a browser, away from the editor.

Using both

Planning and overview are different jobs. You can plan a build with a task generator and still have the agent record its progress in Grafizum. The MCP setup guide shows how to connect.

Details about Task Master are taken from its public package page as of November 2026 and can change. Check the project itself before you decide.
