Kanban MCP server

What it does

An MCP server that creates and manages KanbanThing kanban boards through a command line interface. It allows developers and AI agents to programmatically control shared kanban boards with columns, cards, due dates, and multiple views, requiring only a board link and password.

• Automate board updates from scripts or AI agents by creating and moving cards with JSON output from CLI commands.
• Build kanban workflows into applications that need to track tasks across columns without requiring user accounts or API keys.
• Generate board state reports or integrate board data into other tools using the CLI's JSON output format.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
