The AI processes your board data into these specific views.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI move tasks between columns for me?

    No. The AI can only read your board data and tell you what is happening. You have to move the tasks yourself in KanbanTool.

    Will the AI delete any of my tasks?

    No. This MCP only has permission to read data. It cannot delete, edit, or change anything on your boards.

  • 03

    How does it know if someone is 'overloaded'?

    The AI looks at the number of active tasks assigned to a user profile compared to the total tasks on the board.

  • 04

    Can I ask about tasks on boards I haven't specified?

    The AI can only see the boards you give it access to via the tools provided.

    It only accesses the profile data required to identify users and their task assignments.
