Get tasks is a WordPress ability from Burst Statistics — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get tasks
Read-onlyReturn Burst's current onboarding/setup task list and each task's completion status.
Requires the Burst Statistics plugin on WordPress 6.6+. All abilities register only when the 'Enable Abilities API' setting is turned on in Burst, and the current user needs the 'manage_burst_statistics' capability. The sales-data and subscriptions-data abilities additionally require Burst Pro (the BURST_PRO constant) to be active.
What it does
This ability returns the list of tasks Burst tracks for site setup and configuration, each with an id, label, status, icon, and (when applicable) a URL to complete it. It takes no input. An AI assistant can use this to tell a site owner what's left to configure in Burst, or to check whether tracking and other setup steps have been completed.
