Kanboard MCP server

This is a small helper program that connects your AI assistant to Kanboard, the project management tool. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI things like "show me all overdue tasks" or "create a task called Design homepage" and it will do that in Kanboard for you. It is handy for anyone who uses Kanboard at work and would rather type a sentence than click through menus.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in plain words, like asking for your overdue tasks or telling the AI to create a new project. Your AI sends that request to this helper program. The helper logs into your Kanboard account using the details you set up and asks Kanboard to do the thing you wanted. Kanboard responds, and the helper passes the result back to your AI. Your AI then shows you the answer or confirms the change in the chat.

What it gives back to you

You get back plain answers in your chat: lists of projects or tasks, task details, comments, or a short confirmation that something was created, updated, or removed. For example, asking for overdue tasks gives you a list with names and dates. When you ask it to change something, it tells you what it did.
