Threadboard
Integrates with OpenAI Codex by adding local task boards inside Codex projects, enabling users to plan work, assign cards to chats, track progress notes, submit work to review, and mark tasks as done.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Threadboard adds local task boards to Codex. Plan work in your existing projects, assign cards to chats, and review the results before marking them Done.

What it does
Uses your Codex projects. Each gets a General board. Add named boards for features, releases, or other work.
Connects tasks to chats. Start a new chat from a card or ask an existing chat to claim it. One chat owns a task at a time.
Keeps the result on the card. Chats add progress notes and submit work to Review. You accept it into Done or request changes.
Updates as you work. Visible boards check for local changes. Hidden panels pause, and refreshes preserve open drafts.
Fits inside Codex. Host themes, keyboard controls, and layouts for narrow panels are supported.
Boards live in a local SQLite database. The plugin has no hosted backend, telemetry, or transcript access. Task information used in a chat goes through your normal Codex account and model service. Privacy details.
Screenshots use example projects. More captures and editable artwork.

Install the current preview
Requires Codex desktop with plugin/MCP App support, the Codex CLI, and Node.js 22.13 or newer.
codex plugin marketplace add vrnrn/Threadboard --ref main
codex plugin add threadboard@threadboard-pluginsFully quit and reopen Codex, then open Threadboard from the sidebar. The repository includes compiled assets; no npm install or build step is needed. Node must be available on Codex's PATH.
You can also download the website preview, extract the ZIP, and run node install.mjs from that folder. The installer checks the package, finds Node, and preserves existing task data during updates.
Install a release
The older GitHub release, 0.1.1, uses manual workspace association and refresh. Use the website or repository preview for the native projects, named boards, and live updates shown here.
Using the board
Open a card and choose Start in new chat, then send the prepared prompt in Codex to begin. A named board can also have a companion chat. The user guide covers ownership, review, exports, backups, and recovery.
N creates a task, ⌘/Ctrl K focuses search, and Escape closes a dialog. Search covers loaded cards; boards with more than 200 tasks offer Load more tasks.
This is preview software. Native board opening has been tested locally. Card-launch project placement, sidebar icons after a host restart, and Open full view recovery still need native-host verification. Browser tests cannot confirm Codex's window layout. Threadboard is independently distributed and is not listed in OpenAI's universal directory.
Development
See development and verification for builds, tests, benchmarks, and packaging. The website lives in site/. Run npm run graphics to update product screenshots and repository artwork.
