Tokanban

Tokanban is an agent-first task management system with durable memory for development teams and AI coding agents. It provides a shared task and memory layer for agents working alongside human teams, with a focus on programmatic access and project visibility.

The service includes an MCP server, a REST API, and a CLI, along with a web UI for human visibility. Its task and observability features include an agent Kanban board, task lists, sprint views, memory records, and activity feeds. Tokanban also supports durable memory for facts, decisions, session chronicles, continuation prompts, and provenance so agents can resume work with relevant project and workdir context. The page says that every action is traceable to who did it, and that agents have first-class identities with scoped permissions, attribution, and activity tracking.

For concurrent work, Tokanban serializes writes per project with Durable Objects and uses ETags, idempotency keys, and workflow validation. It also describes read-only dashboard views for project observability and automation rules that can trigger actions transactionally within the write path. The CLI supports full CRUD and admin functions from the terminal, with shell completions, piping support, and JSON output for scripting.

Tokanban is described as usable with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, custom MCP clients, internal developer platforms, CI jobs, and CLI-driven automation. The page says it is free to start, with no paywalls and no feature gating, and that all features are available. It presents itself as task management, durable memory, and an agent Kanban board for AI coding agents, agentic SaaS workflows, and software teams that need one system for humans and automation.
