Claude kanban integration: let Claude work on your boards

Add Kanduck in Claude Setup in the docs

A verified connector in the Claude directory. Free for up to 10 people, every feature included.

How to connect Claude to Kanduck

Claude on the web, desktop and mobile

  1. Open Kanduck in the Claude directory and add it. Or open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Kanduck and paste https://kanduck.com/mcp.
  2. Kanduck opens an approval page. Sign in if it asks, so Claude connects to your boards and not an empty new account.
  3. Choose what Claude may do (Read only, Propose changes or Can edit) and whether it sees all your boards or one. Tap Connect.
  4. Ask Claude about your boards.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http kanduck https://kanduck.com/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code, choose kanduck, sign in, and approve it on the Kanduck page that opens.

To disconnect, open Invite your AI in Kanduck and remove the connection. Claude stops on its next call. The docs cover other AI apps and reconnecting an app that stopped working.

What Claude can do on a Kanduck board

The connector gives Claude 15 tools. Which of them can change anything depends on the level you chose.

The 15 tools Kanduck gives Claude and whether each changes the board

delete_card, delete_listDelete a card, or a list with its cards. Both go to Trash for 30 daysYes

Agent permissions: what Claude may do, and who decides

Each Claude connection gets its own name, its own level and, if you want, a single board. You set all of it when you approve the connection and can change or remove it later.

Only the board's owner, and invited members who have verified their email, can approve, reject or undo. Claude cannot approve its own proposals. Agent control shows the whole propose, review, approve and undo flow with screenshots.

A real use case: planning a launch with Claude

The example below uses the tools above. You have a board called Launch and you type:

Plan the launch of my app on my Launch board. Add cards for the landing page, pricing, and the announcement, with due dates, and a checklist on the announcement.

  1. Claude calls list_boards and get_board to find the Launch board and see its lists.
  2. It calls add_cards once with every card, each with its due date, and a checklist on the announcement.
  3. In Can edit the cards appear on the board, labelled with the connection's name. In Propose changes a bar appears above the lists saying changes are waiting, and you review each request in plain words and approve or reject it.
  4. Later you ask Claude to move what is finished to Done and say what changed. It uses search_cards, move_card and board_activity.
  5. If something is wrong, open History in Kanduck and undo that action or that whole run. If Claude deleted something, Put back restores it from Trash.
A Kanduck board with a bar above the lists reading: an AI proposed 4 changes, nothing has happened yet, with a Review button. The lists are unchanged.
Propose changes: four requests wait and the board has not moved.
A review sheet titled Waiting for your say-so, listing four requests from the connection: move Write launch post to Doing, rename Pricing page copy, add Ask Sam for logo files, and add two cards to This week, each with Approve and Reject buttons.
Each request says what it would do, with its own Approve and Reject.

The screenshots come from a demo board driven by a scripted MCP client, not a recording of a Claude session. The connection's name on a real board is whatever the person connecting it types, and Claude fills it in with the app's own name.

What to know before you connect

Questions

Does Kanduck work with Claude?

Yes. Kanduck is a connector verified by Anthropic in the Claude directory, and it also works as a custom connector at https://kanduck.com/mcp. Claude on the web, desktop and mobile, and Claude Code, can read your boards, add and edit cards, and search across boards over MCP.

Can Claude change my board without asking?

Only as far as you allow. You pick Read only, Propose changes or Can edit when you connect it. In Propose changes mode every edit waits for you. In Can edit mode Claude edits directly, every change is labelled, and you can undo it from History.

What happens if Claude deletes a card or list?

It goes to the board's Trash for 30 days with its chat and files, and you can put it back as it was. Kanduck's tools tell Claude to delete only when you clearly asked.

Is the connector made by Anthropic?

No. Kanduck's developer makes and runs it. Anthropic has verified it for the Claude directory.

Is the Claude integration free?

Kanduck is free for up to 10 people with every feature, including the Claude connection. Teams past 10 pay one flat price for the whole workspace, not per person. See pricing. You also need a Claude plan that allows connectors.

Can I limit Claude to one board?

Yes. When you approve the connection you choose all your boards or one, and you can disconnect it any time under Invite your AI.

What about ChatGPT, Codex and other AI apps?

Kanduck speaks MCP, so other apps can connect to the same address. The docs have steps for Codex, Grok and Muse and a settings-file shape for other MCP apps.
