Kanban Tool for AI agents

Kanban Tool is a visual project and task management platform for organizing boards, workflows, and time tracking. Teams use it to keep project work visible instead of tracking it across separate spreadsheets. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Kanban Tool connects.

Users add their Kanban Tool api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Kanban Tool connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Kanban Tool and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Kanban Tool with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Kanban Tool to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Kanban Tool actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Kanban Tool?

Users add their Kanban Tool api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Kanban Tool actions can my agent take?

11 in total: 4 read, 6 write and 1 destructive, such as “create task”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Kanban Tool?

Yes. Actions like “delete subtask” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Kanban Tool too?

Yes. The same Kanban Tool connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
