Provides tools for managing GitHub Projects v2 boards as a personal kanban system, including creating, moving, updating, and deleting activities (draft items) and filtering by status and priority.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@gh-board-mcp Add a new activity called 'Write specs' with priority High"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP server for managing GitHub Projects v2 as a personal kanban board. Create activities (draft items), move them between columns, track priority — without linking to real issues.

GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx npx gh-board-mcpConfigure it in your MCP client (e.g. Claude Code):
claude mcp add gh-board-mcp -- env GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx npx gh-board-mcpTool | Description |
| List your GitHub Projects v2 boards |
| Create a new board (default Status + Priority fields) |
| List activities (draft items), filter by status/priority |
| Create an activity with optional status/priority |
| Move an activity to another status (and set priority) |
| Edit an activity's title/description |
| Delete an activity |
create_project creates a new board with Status = Todo / In Progress / Done and Priority = Urgent / High / Medium / Low.
Boards created from a GitHub template keep their own Status/Priority options — pass values that exist on the board. create_activity, move_activity, and list_activities report the valid options when given an unknown value.
Custom columns are not supported via the API (configure them in the GitHub UI).
Read cap: list_activities and list_projects read up to 100 items / projects in one call; larger boards are truncated.
Eventual consistency: GitHub Projects v2 writes can take a moment to appear in reads — a list_activities immediately after create_activity may briefly miss the new item.
Create is not atomic: create_activity validates the status/priority options before creating, so a bad option leaves nothing behind; a transient network error mid-create can still leave a draft without its field values.
