The Future of Project Management

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is the bridge between your AI coding agents and your tools. Kanteen leverages MCP to create the first truly AI-native project management experience.

Understanding MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI models to securely connect and interact with external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter that lets your coding agent talk to your project management board, databases, APIs, and other services.

Instead of manually switching between your IDE and your project board, your AI agent can read tasks, update cards, create new items, and keep everything in sync—all while you focus on coding.

AI-Native

Built from the ground up for AI agents to understand and interact with

Real-Time

Your agent sees updates instantly and can respond to changes immediately

Developer-First

Designed for developers who want their tools to work seamlessly together

How Kanteen Uses MCP

Kanteen exposes your project board through MCP, giving your AI agent full visibility and control

Read Your Workflow

Your agent can see all boards, columns, and cards. It understands your project structure and current state.

List all boards and their columns
Get card details including content and comments
See which tasks are in progress or blocked

Update Automatically

As your agent works on tasks, it can update your board to reflect progress in real-time.

Move cards between columns as work progresses
Create new cards for discovered subtasks
Add comments with implementation details

Implement Features

Your agent reads card requirements, implements the feature, then updates the board—all autonomously.

Pull next task from Todo column
Write code based on card description
Move completed card to Done

Stay in Sync

No more context switching. Your project board and codebase stay perfectly aligned.

Real-time updates as agent works
Automatic progress tracking
Complete audit trail of changes

Traditional Workflow vs Kanteen

See how Kanteen transforms your development process

Traditional Workflow

Manually check project board for next task
Copy requirements into IDE or remember them
Write code while context-switching between tools
After finishing, remember to update the board
Manually move cards and add status comments
Board often becomes outdated or forgotten
AI agent has no visibility into project status

With Kanteen

AI agent reads board and picks next task automatically
Full context available to agent at all times
Agent implements features with complete visibility
Board updates automatically as work progresses
Agent moves cards and adds implementation notes
Board always reflects current state accurately
Complete integration between code and project management

Why Kanteen is Different

The first project management tool designed for the AI era

AI-First Design

Not a traditional tool with AI bolted on. Built from scratch for AI agents to read, understand, and update.

Zero Context Switching

Your agent handles the board updates. You stay in your IDE and focus on solving problems.

Always Up-to-Date

No more stale boards. Your project status is automatically synchronized as your agent works.

Seamless Integration

Works with Cursor, Claude, and any MCP-compatible tool. One protocol, infinite possibilities.

Developer Experience

Simple API, clear documentation, and designed by developers for developers.

Team Visibility

Everyone sees real-time progress. AI agents and humans working together, transparently.

See It In Action

A typical workflow with Kanteen and your AI agent

1

You: 'Show me what's in my Todo column'

Agent reads your Kanteen board and lists all pending tasks

2

You: 'Implement the user authentication feature'

Agent pulls the card details, understands requirements, and starts coding

3

Agent works autonomously

Moves card to 'In Progress', implements the feature, writes tests

4

Feature complete

Agent moves card to 'Done' and adds a comment with implementation summary

5

You check the board

Everything is up-to-date. Your team sees progress without you lifting a finger
