- # Kanbo MCP Setup Guide
2
-
3
- This guide covers two ways to set up the Kanbo MCP server for use with AI assistants like Claude.
4
-
5
- ---
6
-
7
- ## Option 1: Install via npm (Recommended)
8
-
9
- One command to authenticate and register the MCP server with your editors.
10
-
11
- ### Step 1: Login
12
-
13
- ```bash
14
- npx @kanbodev/mcp login
15
- ```
16
-
17
- This will:
18
- 1. Open your browser to sign in with your Kanbo account
19
- 2. Let you select which organization to use
20
- 3. Automatically create and store an API key
21
- 4. **Auto-register the MCP server** with detected editors (VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI)
22
-
23
- You'll see output like:
24
-
25
- ```
26
- ✓ Successfully authenticated!
27
-
28
- Email: you@example.com
29
- Organization: My Team
30
- API Key: kanbo_pat_a1b2...
31
-
32
- Config saved to: ~/.kanbo/config.json
33
-
34
- MCP server registered with:
35
- ✓ Registered in VS Code
36
- ✓ Registered via Claude Code CLI
37
-
38
- Reload your editor to activate the Kanbo MCP server.
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### Step 2: Reload your editor
42
-
43
- Reload your editor window and you're ready to go. No manual config needed.
44
-
45
- ### Re-register with new editors
46
-
47
- If you install a new editor after logging in, run:
48
-
49
- ```bash
50
- npx @kanbodev/mcp install
51
- ```
52
-
53
- This re-detects editors and registers the MCP server where needed. It's idempotent — already-registered editors are skipped.
54
-
55
- ### Other CLI Commands
56
-
57
- ```bash
58
- npx @kanbodev/mcp install # Register MCP server with detected editors
59
- npx @kanbodev/mcp whoami # Check current authentication status
60
- npx @kanbodev/mcp logout # Remove stored credentials
61
- npx @kanbodev/mcp help # Show all available commands
62
- ```
63
-
64
- ---
65
-
66
- ## Option 2: Manual Setup with API Key
67
-
68
- If you prefer to manage your API key manually, or need to configure multiple environments.
69
-
70
- ### Step 1: Create an API Key
71
-
72
- 1. Go to your Kanbo dashboard
73
- 2. Navigate to **Settings → API Keys**
74
- 3. Click **Create API Key**
75
- 4. Give it a name (e.g., "Claude Desktop")
76
- 5. Copy the token (it will only be shown once!)
77
-
78
- The token looks like: `kanbo_pat_a1b2c3d4e5f6...`
79
-
80
- ### Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop
81
-
82
- Add Kanbo to your Claude Desktop configuration with the API key:
83
-
84
- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
85
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
86
-
87
- ```json
88
- {
89
- "mcpServers": {
90
- "kanbo": {
91
- "command": "npx",
92
- "args": ["@kanbodev/mcp"],
93
- "env": {
94
- "KANBO_API_KEY": "kanbo_pat_your_token_here"
95
- }
96
- }
97
- }
98
- }
99
- ```
100
-
101
- ### Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop
102
-
103
- Close and reopen Claude Desktop to load the new configuration.

111
- | Variable | Description | Default |
112
- |----------|-------------|---------|
113
- | `KANBO_API_KEY` | Your Personal Access Token | (from ~/.kanbo/config.json) |
114
- | `KANBO_API_URL` | API server URL | `https://api.kanbo.dev` |
115
- | `KANBO_ORG_ID` | Override organization ID | (from token) |
116
-
117
- ### Priority Order
118
-
119
- The MCP server loads configuration in this order (first found wins):
120
-
121
- 1. **Environment variables** - Set in Claude Desktop config or shell
122
- 2. **Config file** - `~/.kanbo/config.json` (created by `login` command)
123
-
124
- This means you can:
125
- - Use `npx @kanbodev/mcp login` for easy setup
126
- - Override with env vars for specific use cases
127
-
128

130
- ## Using with Other AI Tools
131
-
132
- > **Note:** `npx @kanbodev/mcp login` auto-registers with VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code CLI. The manual configs below are only needed if auto-registration didn't detect your editor.
133
-
134
- ### Cursor
135
-
136
- Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
137
-
138
- ```json
139
- {
140
- "servers": {
141
- "kanbodev": {
142
- "type": "stdio",
143
- "command": "npx",
144
- "args": ["@kanbodev/mcp"]
145
- }
146
- }
147
- }
148
- ```
149
-
150
- ### VS Code
151
-
152
- See the full [VS Code setup guide](VSCODE.md) for native MCP support (v1.99+), Claude Code extension, and Cursor/Windsurf.
153
-
154
- ### Windsurf
155
-
156
- Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
157
-
158
- ```json
159
- {
160
- "mcpServers": {
161
- "kanbodev": {
162
- "type": "stdio",
163
- "command": "npx",
164
- "args": ["@kanbodev/mcp"]
165
- }
166
- }
167
- }
168
- ```
169
-
170
- ### Claude Code (VS Code Extension)
171
-
172
- Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
173
-
174
- ```json
175
- {
176
- "mcpServers": {
177
- "kanbodev": {
178
- "type": "stdio",
179
- "command": "npx",
180
- "args": ["@kanbodev/mcp"]
181
- }
182
- }
183
- }
184
- ```
185
-
186
- ### Claude Code CLI
187
-
188
- ```bash
189
- claude mcp add kanbodev -- npx @kanbodev/mcp
190
- ```
191
-
192
- ---
193
-
194
- ## Troubleshooting
195
-
196
- ### "Not authenticated" error
197
-
198
- Run `npx @kanbodev/mcp whoami` to check your auth status. If not logged in:
199
-
200
- ```bash
201
- npx @kanbodev/mcp login
202
- ```
203
-
204
- ### "Invalid API key" error
205
-
206
- Your API key may have been revoked. Create a new one:
207
-
208
- 1. Go to Kanbo dashboard → Settings → API Keys
209
- 2. Revoke the old key
210
- 3. Create a new one
211
- 4. Update your configuration
212
-
213
- ### Connection issues
214
-
215
- Check the API URL is correct:
216
-
217
- ```bash
218
- # Test with explicit URL
219
- KANBO_API_URL=https://api.kanbo.dev npx @kanbodev/mcp whoami
220
- ```
221
-
222
- ### Clear stored credentials
223
-
224
- ```bash
225
- npx @kanbodev/mcp logout
226
- ```
227
-
228
- Or manually delete the config file:
229
-
230
- ```bash
231
- rm ~/.kanbo/config.json
232
- ```
233
-
234
- ---
235
-
236
- ## Security Notes
237
-
238
- - **API keys are stored securely** in `~/.kanbo/config.json` with owner-only permissions (0600)
239
- - **Never commit API keys** to version control
240
- - **Revoke unused keys** from the Kanbo dashboard
241
- - **Each key is organization-scoped** - it can only access data in that organization
242
