Kanbaruu turns your project board into something your AI agent can read and edit.

Tasks live as Markdown files and sync two-way with your repo — move a card and it writes back to git; edit the file and the board updates. This MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client work that same backlog directly.

What your agent can do

  • Read projects, columns, tasks, and members
  • Create, update, and delete tasks
  • Update project member roles

Auth: workspace-bound token. Create one in Kanbaruu → Account Settings → MCP, then paste it when connecting. One token = one workspace. Read-only and scoped tokens supported.

How to connect

How to connect Kanbaruu to Claude

  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

How to connect Kanbaruu to ChatGPT

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
