Vibe Kanban -- Task Board for Agents

Local kanban board with browser UI. Agents create tasks, change statuses, manage workspaces. Each task gets its own git worktree and branch.

Setup

npx vibe-kanban

Opens in browser. No database, no cloud -- runs locally with SQLite.

How Agents Use It

Through MCP (recommended)

Vibe Kanban has a built-in MCP server. Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-kanban": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vibe-kanban", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Agent gets these tools:

list_workspaces -- see all tasks and their statuses
create_session -- start working on a task
run_session_prompt -- execute work in a task's workspace
get_execution -- check execution status

Through CLI

# Start the board
npx vibe-kanban

# Open in browser
# http://localhost:<port> (auto-assigned)

Task Lifecycle

Todo  -->  InProgress  -->  InReview  -->  Done
                |
                v
           Cancelled

Status	Meaning
Todo	Task created, waiting to start
InProgress	Agent is working on it
InReview	Work done, needs review
Done	Completed and merged
Cancelled	Abandoned

Multi-Agent Workflow

Multiple agents can share the same kanban board:

One board per project -- all agents see the same tasks
Each task = git worktree -- agents work in isolation
Status updates in real-time -- visible in browser UI
Code review built-in -- inline comments on diffs

Example: 3-agent team

Agent	Role	How they use kanban
Coordinator	Assigns tasks	Creates tasks, sets priorities
Coder	Implements	Picks tasks, moves to InProgress, submits to InReview
Reviewer	Reviews code	Reviews InReview tasks, approves or requests changes

Features

Feature	Description
Git worktrees	Each task gets isolated worktree + branch
Browser UI	Drag-and-drop kanban board
