Compatible with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client.

What you can do

125 Tools, 18 Categories

Tickets, statuses, priorities, tags, releases, comments, analytics, AI writing, and more. Every Kanbo feature is accessible to AI agents through structured tool calls.

Natural Language Control

Say "Create a high-priority bug ticket for the login page" and your AI agent handles the rest — choosing the right status, priority, type, and tags automatically.

AI-Assisted Writing via MCP

AI agents can call polish_title, generate_description, check_clarity, and suggest_attributes tools to create high-quality tickets without manual editing.

Sprint Planning

Ask your AI agent to "plan the next sprint" and it creates a release, pulls relevant backlog tickets, assigns them, and sets due dates — all through MCP tools.

Works With Any MCP Client

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline — any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol standard works with Kanbo's MCP server out of the box.

Secure Authentication

One-time login via "npx @kanbodev/mcp login". Uses secure token storage. Organization and project context is maintained per session.
