The kanban board for dev agencies
Agencies live and die by throughput across parallel client projects. Kanboard gives each engagement a fast board, gives your developers keyboard speed, and gives AI agents the routine tickets — margin recovered on every project.
Sound familiar?
Five clients, five sources of truth
Each project drifts into its own tool and process. Nobody can see shop-wide load without asking around.
Status reporting is a billable-hours leak
Weekly updates assembled by hand from memory and commit logs — hours of senior time spent narrating instead of building.
Junior-sized tickets, senior-sized rates
Boilerplate, CRUD endpoints, test backfills — someone has to do them, and your margin depends on who.
How Kanboard fits
Unlimited projects on Pro
A board per engagement with the same column conventions shop-wide — switching projects with ⌘K takes a second.
MCP server
Routine tickets go to agents at machine cost. Developers review the Done column instead of typing boilerplate.
REST API
Pull board state into client reports and internal dashboards automatically — status updates that write themselves.
Keyboard-first triage
Leads groom five boards in the time one Jira board takes — N, E, arrow-move, done.
A week on the board
- 1
Standardize columns across all client boards: Backlog, Ready, In Progress, Review, Done.
- 2
Scope tickets during kickoff so the Ready column is always full of well-defined work.
- 3
Dispatch agent-appropriate tickets over MCP each morning; developers pull the judgment work.
- 4
Generate the weekly client update from the board via the REST API — Done column in, report out.
FAQ
Can multiple developers share one board?+
Accounts are single-user today, so agencies run project boards under a shared account or one board per lead, with agents connected via separate API keys. Multi-user collaboration is on the roadmap.
How do agencies use AI agents with client work?+
Well-scoped, low-risk tickets — scaffolding, tests, migrations — get dispatched to agents over MCP in the agency's own dev environments, then reviewed like any junior developer's PR.
What does it cost per project?+
Nothing per project — Pro is $12/month flat with unlimited projects and tasks.
Can we build client-facing reporting on top?+
Yes — the REST API exposes projects, columns, and tasks, so board state can feed whatever reporting your clients expect.
A board for you, an API for your agents
One flat price for you and every agent you connect.
