GitHub Kanban MCP Server

Provides a GitHub Kanban-style MCP server to manage GitHub issues via MCP with LLm task management.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sunwood-ai-labs-github-kanban-mcp-server": {
      "command": "github-kanban-mcp-server",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

You can run the GitHub Kanban MCP Server to manage GitHub issues as a kanban board and enable your LLM to automate task management, comments, and progress visualization with a tightly integrated MCP workflow.

How to use

Install and run the MCP server locally, then connect a client that supports MCP to issue commands like listing, creating, updating issues, and adding comments. Once connected, you can manage GitHub issues in a kanban-style view, have the LLM organize work, and add task-level discussions directly on issues.
