MCP Kanban is a specialized middleware designed to facilitate interaction between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Planka, a Kanban board application. It serves as an intermediary layer that provides LLMs with a simplified and enhanced API to interact with Planka's task managemen
Overview
What is Kanban MCP?
Kanban MCP is a bridge between Planka (an open-source kanban board) and Cursor’s Machine Control Protocol (MCP). It enables AI assistants like Claude to view, create, update, and manage projects, boards, lists, cards, comments, and time tracking on your kanban boards.
How to use Kanban MCP?
Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, build the TypeScript code with npm run build, and start the Planka containers with npm run up. Then configure Cursor to add a new MCP server pointing to dist/index.js and set the environment variables PLANKA_BASE_URL, PLANKA_AGENT_EMAIL, and PLANKA_AGENT_PASSWORD (default: http://localhost:3333, [email protected], demo).
