Planka
Manage PLANKA kanban boards from your agent—cards, tasks, comments, and labels—without leaving the terminal or IDE.

- CRUD coverage: cards, tasks, comments, and labels

What problem does it solve?
You use self-hosted PLANKA for tasks but constantly break flow to update cards manually while your agent codes.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who already run PLANKA and want agent-driven backlog updates during feature implementation.
Skip if: Teams on Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues only, or anyone without a PLANKA server and credentials.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can create, update, and organize PLANKA cards, tasks, comments, and labels through MCP while you stay in the IDE.
- Agent-driven card, task, comment, and label updates on PLANKA boards
- Reduced context switching between IDE and kanban UI
- Repeatable MCP workflow aligned to your self-hosted board structure
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Solo builders still need a lightweight backlog while coding; Build is where product execution and task tracking meet implementation. PM subphase covers kanban and work-item CRUD that agents can drive alongside feature work.
How it compares
PLANKA-specific kanban MCP integration, not generic PM methodology or local agent memory.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is PLANKA MCP for?
Developers using self-hosted PLANKA who want Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents to manage boards, cards, and tasks via MCP.
When should I use PLANKA MCP?
Use it during Build PM when you are breaking work into cards, updating status, and commenting from the same session where the agent writes code.
How do I add PLANKA MCP to my agent?
Set PLANKA_BASE_URL, PLANKA_AGENT_EMAIL, and PLANKA_AGENT_PASSWORD, install @gogogadgetbytes/planka-mcp, and register the stdio server in your MCP client.
