Start Sprint
start_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. Transition a planned sprint to active status. One sprint can be active at a time, on every plan — if another sprint is running, the call fails and names it; complete that sprint first, then retry.
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
