A Model Context Protocol server providing AI assistants with comprehensive project, task, and subtask management capabilities with project-specific storage.

Provides a read-only MCP interface to Kaiten, letting an agent retrieve cards, spaces, boards, columns, lanes, discussions, checklists, tags, custom properties, sprints and time-tracking reports with paging, filtering and long-text continuation. It also lists card and comment attachments and downloads selected originals as local files, with hashes and safe unique names, for further agent analysis.

MCP for Azure DevOps Boards is a MCP server that lets your favourite AI browse, query and update Azure DevOps work items as if it were a project manager. Written in Rust and optimized for tokens usagem, It runs via stdio or HTTP mode and uses standard Azure authentication with az login.

Enables Codex projects to read Git-backed kickoff, acceptance, handoff, progress, and next-step context, and to append validated, audited progress events through scoped MCP tools. This supports visible agent progress, resumable sessions, and safer handoffs.

Enables Codex and other MCP clients to read kickoff cards, acceptance criteria, Git evidence, and next steps, then append validated, audited progress events for resumable project handoffs.

Enables AI-powered project management by connecting Claude to Planka kanban boards via 75+ MCP tools for creating, updating, and managing projects, boards, lists, and cards.

Centralized MCP server for spec-driven AI agent workflows, enabling isolated feature management, task tracking, and implementation with handoff and archiving capabilities across multiple projects and developers.

An MCP server that provides shared memory, kanban board, and agent registry for AI agents to collaborate as a team, with a live dashboard for human oversight.

Enables agents to read a project's kickoff card, acceptance criteria, AGENTS rules, handoff package, progress, Git trail, and next step, and to append validated, audited progress events with matching Git commits through short-lived scoped credentials.

Enables AI agents to retrieve Git-backed project context, handoff packages, progress, and next steps, and to append validated progress events with matching project-record commits. This supports visible agent progress, resumable work, and safe handoffs while keeping high-risk actions outside the MCP surface.

Enables agents to read Git-backed project context and append audited, idempotent progress events through scoped, short-lived credentials, supporting resumable handoffs and visible project state.

Enables AI agents and users to verify claims about Jira issues and issue counts against live Jira, retrieve verifiable facts for drafting updates, and re-check previously posted claims. It provides read-only tools and an issue panel so status updates can be evidence-based and mismatches corrected before or after posting.

Enables Codex sessions to read a project's kickoff card, acceptance criteria, handoff package, progress, Git trail, and next step, then append validated, idempotent progress events backed by matching project-record Git commits. Access is limited to a short-lived, revocable credential scoped to one workspace and project, with high-risk actions kept outside the server.

Enables AI agents to read Git-backed project context and append validated, audited, idempotent progress events through short-lived, scoped credentials, supporting resumable work and safer handoffs.

Enables Codex agents to read a project's kickoff card, acceptance criteria, handoff package, progress, Git trail and next step, then append validated, audited, idempotent progress events that become matching project-record Git commits. Access is scoped to one workspace and project through short-lived, revocable, hash-stored credentials that cannot touch members, keys, deletion, publication or deployment.
