What is a kanban MCP server?
An MCP server lets an AI client call defined tools in another app. In a kanban workflow, those tools can read boards, inspect cards, and apply task changes. EasyKanban keeps the connection under your account permissions, so the AI sees the boards you can access rather than a separate copy of your data.
If you want to understand the setup in context, read how to connect Claude to your kanban board or see how AI task management works with Kanban.
Your boards, one question away
“What are my most important to-dos this week?”
“Summarize everything that is overdue across my boards.”
“Create a card "Send invoice to ACME" in my Freelance board.”
“Move the "Design review" card to Done.”
“What did I plan for the product launch? List the open cards.”
“Add cards for all the action items from this meeting transcript.”
Connected in under a minute
No API keys, no tokens to manage. Your AI opens the browser once, you click “Allow”, done.
Claude (web & desktop)
- Open Settings → Connectors in Claude
- Click Add custom connector and paste this URL:
https://easykanb.app/api/mcp3. Claude opens EasyKanban in your browser, click Allow. That's it.
Open Claude connector settingsClaude Code (CLI)
Run this once in your terminal, then authenticate via /mcp:
claude mcp add --transport http easykanban https://easykanb.app/api/mcpChatGPT
- Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector
- Paste this URL and confirm the EasyKanban sign-in:

One-click install for editors with MCP support:
Any other client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP + OAuth) works too. For JSON-based configs, add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"easykanban": {
"url": "https://easykanb.app/api/mcp"
}
}
}Self-hosted agents & headless clients
On a server with no browser, or with a client that does not speak OAuth, use a personal access token instead. Create one in Settings → Personal access tokens, then send it as a bearer token:
{
"mcpServers": {
"easykanban": {
"url": "https://easykanb.app/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ekp_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}The token carries the same permissions as your login and the same Pro gate on writes. Treat it like a password, and revoke it in Settings whenever you want.
Free to read. Free to act, within reason.

Private & secure by design
- Your existing login. Authorization uses OAuth with your EasyKanban account, no API keys or passwords shared with the AI.
- Same permissions as in the app. Your AI only sees boards you can access; team roles (owner, editor, viewer) are enforced by the database on every request.
- Revoke anytime. Disconnect any app in Settings → Connected Apps and its access stops immediately.
Questions before you connect
What data can the AI see?
Exactly what you see in the app, and nothing more. The connection runs under your own account with the same database permissions, so your AI can only read boards you own or were invited to. Team roles are enforced too: on a board where you are a viewer, your AI cannot change anything either.
Can my AI create cards on a free account?
Yes. Every account gets 50 writes per calendar month, which covers creating, editing, moving, archiving and deleting. Reading boards and to-do summaries never count against it. The allowance resets on the 1st, and Pro removes the cap entirely. If you upgrade, it lifts immediately, you do not need to reconnect or restart your AI client.
How do I disconnect it again?
Open Settings and go to Connected Apps. Revoking an app cuts off its access immediately, without changing your password or affecting other connections.
The connection fails. What should I check?
Make sure you entered the URL https://easykanb.app/api/mcp exactly, including /api/mcp, and that your client supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. Older clients that only support local (stdio) servers cannot connect. If the browser window for signing in does not appear, allow pop-ups for your AI client and try again. If your client cannot do OAuth at all, use a personal access token instead.
Do I need an API key or an OpenAI account?
No. Authorization runs through your existing EasyKanban login via OAuth, so there is nothing to copy and the AI never sees your password. Only headless setups need a token: if your client runs on a server with no browser, create a personal access token in Settings and send it as a bearer token.
Can I connect a self-hosted agent?
Yes. The OAuth flow needs a browser, which a server with only a terminal does not have. Create a personal access token under Settings, Personal access tokens, and pass it to the MCP URL in an Authorization header as "Bearer ekp_...". It has the same permissions as your login, expires when you tell it to, and can be revoked at any time.
Which AI clients are supported?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers, including Claude (web, desktop, and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code. The setup section above has step-by-step instructions for each.
