Planka V2

What is Planka V2?

Planka V2 is an MCP server that connects AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex, etc.) directly to Planka v2.x boards. It exposes the Planka v2 API through the Model Context Protocol, giving agents structured, secure access to projects, boards, cards, tasks, comments, labels, and workflows. It is built specifically for Planka v2.x and is not compatible with Planka v1.x.

How to use Planka V2?

Configure your MCP client with the command npx -y @goldpulpy/planka-v2-mcp@latest and set the required environment variables: PLANKA_BASE_URL, PLANKA_AGENT_EMAIL, PLANKA_AGENT_PASSWORD, and optionally PLANKA_IGNORE_SSL. After configuration, verify the connection by asking a read-only query such as "List my Planka projects." Detailed configuration examples are provided for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Antigravity, Codex CLI, Continue, Zed, and any other MCP-compatible client.
