Frequently asked questions
Can I create and move cards across board columns?
Yes. Create new cards in any column, move them across workflow stages, update details, and archive completed cards. Track card history and activity.
Does KanbanTool require a subdomain?
Yes. Each KanbanTool account has a unique subdomain (e.g., your-team). Provide the subdomain and API Token. Bearer token against https://{subdomain}.kanbantool.com/api/v3.
Can I monitor WIP limits and identify bottlenecks?
Yes. Track how many cards are in each column relative to WIP limits. Identify bottleneck columns where work is accumulating beyond limits.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
