chenyinrusi/dsh-kanban-mcp

Filesystem-driven four-lane kanban board (todo / doing / blocked / done) as a read-only MCP server and Python API. Works with DeepSeek Harness and any MCP client.

项目介绍Project Overview

基于文件系统的四车道看板(待办/进行中/阻塞/已完成),以只读MCP服务器和Python API形式提供。看板即Markdown卡片目录树,可Git diff、无需数据库。适合需要持久化、可审计任务状态的智能体工作流。注意:MCP端仅支持读取,写入需通过Python API。

A filesystem-driven four-lane kanban board (todo/doing/blocked/done) exposed as a read-only MCP server and Python API. Cards are markdown files in a directory tree, making the board git-diffable, restart-proof, and database-free. Use it when agents need persistent, inspectable task tracking. Note: MCP tools are read-only; writes require the Python API.

或使用命令行安装(适合开发者)Or use CLI install (for developers)

dsh-kanban-mcp

Filesystem-driven four-lane kanban board (todo / doing / blocked / done) exposed as a read-only MCP server and a Python API. Works with DeepSeek Harness and any MCP client.

A kanban board is just a directory tree of markdown cards:

<base_dir>/YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD/{todo,doing,blocked,done}/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS__agent__slug__status.md

That design is the whole point: the board survives restarts, is diffable in git, needs no database, and can be inspected by any file tool. This package manages those files and exposes the board to agents over MCP.

Install

pip install "dsh-kanban-mcp"          # Python API
pip install "dsh-kanban-mcp[mcp]"     # + MCP server (fastmcp)

Requires Python 3.10+.

Run the MCP server

python -m kanban_mcp          # stdio transport
# or: kanban-mcp

Register it in DeepSeek Harness (MCP settings — the built-in MCP client) or any MCP client. The tools take an optional base_dir argument (default .agent/kanban) so one server can point at any board.

Tools (read-only)

Tool Description
kanban_board Full four-lane board with card details (agent, work_item, purpose, status, outcome, priority, timestamps)
kanban_status Per-lane card counts + total
kanban_doing Cards currently in progress
kanban_blocked Blocked cards
kanban_done_today Cards completed today

All tools are read-only. Card creation / update / movement is available through the KanbanManager Python API (see below); write tools are planned but not yet exposed over MCP.

Python API

from kanban_mcp import KanbanManager, LaneStatus

kanban = KanbanManager(base_dir=".agent/kanban")

card = kanban.create_doing_card(
    agent="coder",
    work_item="build-api",
    purpose="Build the REST API endpoint",
)
kanban.update_card(card, outcome="GET /users implemented")
kanban.move_to_done("coder", "build-api", "API endpoint complete")

board = kanban.get_board()      # full board
stats = kanban.stats()          # per-lane counts
blocked = kanban.get_blocked_cards()

Writes go through an atomic temp-file + os.replace, so a concurrent reader never sees a half-written card.

Why files instead of a database

  • Git-diffable — card changes are reviewable like code.
  • Survives restarts — no daemon, no lock, no migration.
  • Inspectable — any file tool can read a card directly.
  • Portablecp -r the directory and you have a new board.
