Practical MCP servers: time tracker, price tracker, spreadsheet, invoice. Local, offline-licensed, one-time Pro.

mcp-kanban

A task board for each of your projects, driven from your AI chat. Say "add a task to the nova site board: write thelaunch email, due Friday, 90 minutes", then ask "what's on the nova board?", "what's overdue?" or "plan my week".Tasks carry a title, notes, tags, a due date, an estimate, a priority and a column (backlog, todo, doing, review,done by default), each one gets a short stable id like NS-12, and a task can hand its exact arguments to thetime-tracker server so the time you spend on it lands against the same project name. Everything is stored as plainJSON on your own machine.

Built by theluckystrike.

kanban demo

A local kanban board per project -- columns, due dates, estimates, weekly review -- zero setup, all local.

60-second install

npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-kanban is pending. Until then, the .mcpb one-click bundle or a clone+buildis the working path -- both are verified below.

One-click (.mcpb): download kanban.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it in Claude Desktop:https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kanban": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-kanban"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add kanban -- npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-kanban

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kanban": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-kanban"]
    }
  }
}

The npx form above starts working the moment the package is published. Until then, use the .mcpb bundle above, orbuild from source with exactly these three commands:

git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git && cd mcp-servers
npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/kanban

Then point your client's command at node with one arg: the absolute path to servers/kanban/dist/index.js.

To run in Pro mode set MCP_LICENSE_KEY in the same config block, or call license_activate once with your key.

Tools

Tool What it does
task_add Add a task: title plus optional project, column, due date, estimate, priority, tags and notes. A new project name creates its board; a partial name that matches exactly one existing project is used as that project.
Due dates accept YYYY-MM-DD, today, tomorrow, yesterday, +3d, a weekday (friday, the nearest one from today) and next friday (the one after that).
task_list Table of tasks, filtered by project, column, tag, due_before or overdue. Finished tasks are hidden unless you ask for them. Prints 200 rows by default and says how many more there are; raise it with limit (max 2,000).
task_move Move a task to another column on its board.
task_update Change any field: title, notes, due (none clears it), estimate, priority, tags, column or project.
task_done Mark a task done: it moves to the done column and is stamped with the time.
task_delete Delete a task. The id is never reused.
task_search Find tasks by text in the title, notes, tags or id.
board Column-by-column summary of one board: tasks, estimate total, actual total, overdue count.
task_start_timer Return the exact arguments to pass to the time-tracker server's timer_start for this task, and record the link on the task.
task_log_time Add real minutes worked to a task, so estimate and actual can be compared.
project_list Every board with open and done counts, remaining estimate and overdue count.
overdue Everything past its due date, across all boards; as_of measures against another day.
weekly_review Done versus planned for a week, with estimate against actual per project. This week is free; past weeks are Pro.
columns_set Replace one board's columns (Pro). Tasks in a removed column move to the first column.
license_status Free or Pro, and where to upgrade.
license_activate Activate a Pro key (verified offline).

Also exposed: the resource kanban://today (due today plus everything overdue) and the prompt plan_week(turns the open board into a day-by-day plan that fits the hours you actually have).

What you can say

  • "Add a task to the nova site board: write the launch email, due Friday, 90 minutes, high priority."
  • "Move NS-3 to doing."
  • "What does the nova board look like?"
  • "What's overdue?"

  • "Weekly review."

Pairs with

  • mcp-time-tracker -- task_start_timer hands it the project and task name, so hours land against the same project.
  • mcp-calendar -- due dates on the board next to what is actually in your week.
  • mcp-invoice -- turn the tracked hours behind those tasks into invoice line items.
