killBottleneck MCP server

by tengolabs

Let your AI build and update goal maps, tasks and reminder rules on your own killBottleneck server.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Turn my standup notes into a Q3 launch roadmap”, on your own computer the killBottleneck MCP server works with killBottleneck, and you get back your updated goal map.

This connects your AI assistant to your own killBottleneck instance, where teams draw goal maps and track tasks. Instead of clicking around the web app yourself, you describe what you want in normal words and the AI updates the map for you. Handy if you keep a lot of projects running and hate repetitive editing.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

By itself, your AI can only talk to you based on what it learned during training. An MCP server is a little bridge between your AI and some real system, giving the AI hands and eyes in that system. This particular bridge points at your own killBottleneck server. So when you ask "tick off everything I finished", the AI reaches across the bridge and actually marks those items done in your live workspace.

What this MCP server does

When you send a message asking for something in killBottleneck, your AI calls this helper, which forwards the request to your server along with your personal API key. Your server checks what that key belongs to, applies the change or gathers the answer, then returns it. Back comes confirmation such as a freshly created node id or a tidy list of upcoming deadlines. If two assistants share the same document at once, yours might offer to refresh the map so everyone stays aligned.

What you can do with it

  • Create a brand-new goal map straight from pasted meeting notes or voice transcriptions
  • Add several steps or subgoals to an existing branch all in one shot
  • Rename, move or retag individual nodes and mark progress states
  • Ask who owns each part of a plan and review the overall portfolio health
  • Set recurring event entries and gentle reminders tied to specific milestones
  • Define simple trigger conditions that automate routine follow-up actions

Try asking your AI

  • “Turn my latest standup recap into a fresh roadmap called Q3 launch readiness”
  • “Under our onboarding checklist please append five extra verification stages owned by Marta”
  • “Show me everybody currently working on customer-facing initiatives sorted by department”
  • “Schedule a weekly sync note next Friday morning reminding Priya to submit her report draft”

What it gives back to you

Depending on the action, you receive structured confirmations listing newly minted identifiers plus links pointing back to each affected item. Queries yield compact tables showing titles owners due dates and current workflow stage values ready to scan quickly. Any errors surface translated into whichever interface tongue your profile prefers making troubleshooting straightforward regardless of location.
