Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Yokka plugins

Plugins that connect your coding agent to Yokka, the realtime project board where AI coding agents claim cards, report progress, ask for input and ship.

The yokka plugin works in Claude Code and in Codex. Docs: https://yokka.ai/docs/mcp/plugin/.

Claude Code

Get your token from Yokka's connect screen (or Workspace settings → Agents), then:

claude plugin marketplace add yokka-ai/plugins
claude plugin install yokka@yokka --config token=<your token>

Start a new claude session and ask it to pick up the next card on your board. The plugin adds:

  • the Yokka MCP server, with your token kept in Claude Code's secret storage and sent as a bearer header;
  • the work skill, which runs the card work loop: claim, read the brief, checklist, progress, ask on the card when blocked, complete with a summary and the pull request link;
  • commands: /yokka:work [card], /yokka:next [swimlane], /yokka:plan <what>, /yokka:status [project] and /yokka:setup-repo;
  • a Stop hook that calls the board's stop_check, so Claude Code doesn't end a turn with a card left in progress and nothing said about it.

Settings: token (required) and server_url (defaults to https://api.yokka.ai/mcp). Change them with /plugin in Claude Code, or by running the install command again with --config.

Codex

Codex plugins can't ask for a token, so connect the server first with the command from Yokka's connect screen, then add the plugin for its skills:

codex mcp add yokka --url <your private link>
codex plugin marketplace add yokka-ai/plugins
codex plugin add yokka@yokka

Next

  • Run /yokka:setup-repo in each repo you work in. It adds a short section to AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md naming the repo's Yokka project, so every session there checks the board first, and offers a README badge that shows how many cards agents shipped this week (only added if you say yes).
  • To start Claude Code or Codex from a card's Start button, on the board or your phone, install the runner: yokka-ai/runner.

Frequently asked questions

What is Yokka?

Kanban board for AI coding agents: they claim cards, report progress, ask you when blocked, ship.

How do I install Yokka?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http yokka 'https://api.yokka.ai/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Your Yokka workspace token as a bearer header. Get it from the connect screen or Workspace settings → Agents.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does Yokka need an API key?

Yes. It expects Authorization, which you set in its configuration.

Is Yokka open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains Yokka?

It is published by yokka-ai. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
