## Description

Update any combination of a Wrike task's fields (title, description, status, importance, assignees, dates, custom fields) in a single call via PUT /tasks/{taskId}. Supersedes the former Update Task Custom Fields action. Use **Find Tasks** or **Get Task** to obtain the taskId; use **List Contact ID Options** for assignee IDs and **List Custom Fields Keys Options** for custom field IDs. [See the documentation](https://developers.wrike.com/reference/puttaskssingle)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `taskId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the task to update, e.g. IEAASDF3KQAAAAAA. Run the Find Tasks action to look up task IDs. |
| `title` | `string` | No | New task title. |
| `description` | `string` | No | New task description. |
| `status` | `string` | No | New task status. One of: Active, Deferred, Completed, Cancelled. |
| `importance` | `string` | No | New task importance. One of: High, Normal, Low. |
| `addResponsibles` | `string[]` | No | Contact IDs to add as assignees, e.g. KUABCDEF (the intake 'responsibles' input maps here; Wrike PUT has no flat responsibles field). Run List Contact ID Options to look up IDs. |
| `removeResponsibles` | `string[]` | No | Contact IDs to remove as assignees. Run List Contact ID Options to look up IDs. |
| `dates` | `string` | No | JSON object of task dates. Example: {"start":"2026-07-23","due":"2026-09-30","type":"Planned"}. |
| `customStatus` | `string` | No | ID of a custom workflow status to set. |
| `customFields` | `string` | No | JSON array of custom field objects to set. Example: [{"id":"IEAASDF3JQAAAAAA","value":"Done"}]. Run List Custom Fields Keys Options to discover valid field IDs. |

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "wrike-update-task",
  arguments: {
    taskId: "Task ID",
    title: "Title",
  },
})
```
