Install

mise use github:alldmeat/kaiten-mcp

Installs the latest release for your platform. Alternative: the binary from the Releases page.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives the agent access to Kaiten: paginated card lists on a board, card creation and updates, members, comments and external links. It can create and edit spaces, boards, columns, subcolumns and lanes, read and update custom property values and fetch a sprint summary. Credentials live in ~/.config/kaiten/config.json, shared with the CLI, or are set with the kaiten_login tool after connecting. The server ships as a prebuilt binary for macOS and Linux.

Who it is for. For teams working in Kaiten who want to handle boards and cards through an agent.

Good fit when

  • You need to create cards from a task list and place them on a board
  • You want a quick sprint summary
  • You need to bulk-update card custom properties

Not a fit when

  • You need Windows: builds exist only for macOS and Linux
  • The agent must not be allowed to delete columns and subcolumns

Example request

Show the cards on the team board and add a comment to card 12345

Limitations

It needs a Kaiten API token from your company profile. Supported platforms are macOS 15 on ARM and Linux x86-64 and ARM, and building from source needs Swift 6.3. There is no license file in the repository, the README states MIT.

How to disable. Run claude mcp remove kaiten and remove the binary, for example with mise uninstall. The token lives in ~/.config/kaiten/config.json.

README in short

The README offers installation via mise, a release binary download or a Swift build. It covers getting a token from the Kaiten profile, the credentials file format and signing in with kaiten_login. Setup for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Codex and Windsurf is in a separate guide. It ends with a tool reference by section and the preferences file with favorite boards.

FAQ

Does the server start without a token?

Yes, credentials are checked lazily: tools return an error asking you to run kaiten_login.

Where are the logs?

The kaiten_read_logs tool returns the log file path and its contents.
