Create Sprint
create_sprint is one of the 32 MCP tools in Weft, the AI task manager you run by talking to Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT through one MCP endpoint. Create a new sprint in "planned" status for your Weft board, ready to schedule with a goal and dates. Use start_sprint separately when ready to begin working.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.

Annotations
Default write tool. The tool mutates state; MCP clients are free to call it once they know what the user wants. Whether the client asks for confirmation is the client’s choice; the Model Context Protocol specification recommends keeping a human in the loop with the ability to deny tool invocations.
Example
What the user says:
"Plan a one-week sprint called Ship Landing with the goal of launching to Product Hunt."Related
