SwiftKanban
Move SwiftKanban cards, columns, and board state from Claude without leaving your coding session.
Overview
SwiftKanban MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that lets Claude AI manage SwiftKanban boards and cards over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- SwiftKanban MCP v0.1.5 via npm @nimblework/sk-cli stdio transport
- Manage boards and cards from Claude AI as stated in the registry description
- stdio MCP pattern for local agent setups
- Pairs agile kanban workflow with agent-driven implementation
- Published under io.github.deenaik/swiftkanban on the MCP registry
- Registry version 0.1.5
- npm identifier @nimblework/sk-cli with stdio transport
What problem does it solve?
Updating kanban cards after an agent finishes work forces you to alt-tab out of the editor and duplicate effort.
Who is it for?
Solo builders on SwiftKanban who want Claude-driven card updates during active sprints.
Skip if: Teams on Jira, Linear, or Notion unless they migrate to SwiftKanban or use a different MCP server.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can create, move, or inspect SwiftKanban cards so the board matches what you just shipped in code.
- Board and card reads and updates initiated from the agent
- Reduced manual kanban housekeeping during build sprints
- Single-session flow between implementation and task status
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Build is where backlog and execution tracking live for most solo builders; this server operationalizes kanban during active development. PM subphase fits board and card management—the core job is keeping work items synchronized while you build.
How it compares
Kanban board MCP integration, not a planning methodology skill or roadmap generator.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is SwiftKanban MCP for?
Builders who use SwiftKanban for task tracking and want Claude to manage boards and cards from the same session where they code.
When should I use SwiftKanban MCP?
Use it during Build when you close loops on tasks—moving cards, adding follow-ups, or syncing board state after agent-assisted implementation.
How do I add SwiftKanban MCP to my agent?
Install @nimblework/sk-cli (v0.1.5), register it as a stdio MCP server in Claude Code or your client, and configure SwiftKanban authentication per the package README.
