What it does
The server covers most of the Kaiten API: spaces, boards, columns and lanes with create and delete, cards with rich filters by board, tag, owner, deadlines and state, comments, card members and tags, checklists, child cards, external links, blockers, sprints and custom properties. List tools return a trimmed field projection to save context, while get and mutating tools return the full API JSON. It runs over stdio by default but can also serve as a Streamable HTTP server with /health and /mcp endpoints. SCIM, bulk imports, an add-on framework and webhooks are deliberately left out.
Who it is for. For Kaiten teams that want the most complete possible set of operations on boards, cards and sprints.
Good fit when
- You need broad API coverage: sprints, custom fields, blockers, child cards
- You want a ready npm package with no build step
- You need both local stdio and HTTP for a team
Not a fit when
- You need SCIM provisioning, bulk imports or webhooks: deliberately not implemented
- You work with Kaiten documents and their inline comments: not covered here

README in short
The README gives a quick start for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf, explains getting a token and subdomain, lists the 63 tools by section (spaces, boards, cards, comments, members and tags, checklists, child cards, links, blockers, reference data), describes the HTTP mode, and explicitly lists what is not implemented. It ends with links to the author's other Russian-stack MCP servers: planfix-mcp, megaplan-mcp, yandex-tracker-mcp.
