devBoard MCP server

devBoard is a simple project tracker for freelancers and small dev teams: boards, epics, releases and a timer, in an app for iPhone, Android and Mac. This is its MCP server. Connect it once and your AI assistant can read the task it is working on, open new ones, comment, move cards and track your time. It acts as you, in one workspace, with your role.

Quick start

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user devboard https://api.getdevboard.app/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devboard": {
      "url": "https://api.getdevboard.app/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json, asks for the token once and keeps it out of the file):

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "devboard-token", "description": "devBoard token", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "devboard": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.getdevboard.app/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:devboard-token}" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop goes through mcp-remote; the exact block is on https://getdevboard.app/mcp.

Then ask: "What's on my plate today?" or "Start APP-42."

It cannot delete items, change workspace settings, or manage members and invites. Those stay in the app.

Safety

  • A token acts as you, with your role. A member's token can do what a member can do and nothing more.
  • A token belongs to one workspace, the one that was open when you made it. Several clients means several tokens.
  • Revoke a token in Settings → Developer and it stops working at once. devBoard stores only a hash of it.
  • Guests can read a workspace but cannot create tokens.

REST without MCP

The same token works on a small REST API at https://api.getdevboard.app/dev/v1: GET me, GET projects, GET items?project=&q=, GET items/{KEY}, GET items/{KEY}/pulls, POST items/{KEY}/status. Guide: https://getdevboard.app/guides/rest-api-from-ci

Pull requests from GitHub

A pull request that mentions an item key (APP-42) in its title, body or branch shows on that item and can move the card when it opens, merges or closes. One webhook per repository: https://getdevboard.app/guides/link-github-pull-requests

As a plugin

This repository is also an Agent Plugins package (plugin.json + mcp.json), so plugin directories such as cursor.directory can import it. The plugin file lists the server URL only. Plugins must not carry secrets, so after installing it add your own token as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header in your client, as shown above.

Frequently asked questions

What is devBoard?

Tasks, comments, start and finish work, and time tracking in devBoard, a small-team tracker.

How do I install devBoard?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http devboard 'https://api.getdevboard.app/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer <token>. Make the token in the devBoard Mac app under Settings → Developer.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does devBoard need an API key?

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

Is devBoard open source?

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

Who maintains devBoard?

It is published by App-Tube. 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.
