The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
list_boardsList all kanban boards.
create_boardCreate a new kanban board.
get_boardGet details of a specific board.
delete_boardDelete an empty kanban board.
transfer_cardTransfer a card from one board to another.
list_board_actionsList all named actions defined on a board.
add_board_actionAdd or update a named action on a board. Actions appear in the board toolbar and fire webhooks when triggered.
remove_board_actionRemove a named action from a board.
trigger_board_actionFire a named board action, emitting a board.action webhook event.
list_board_logsList all board-level log entries from the board.log file.
add_board_logAppend a new entry to the board-level log file.
clear_board_logsClear all board-level log entries by deleting the board.log file.
list_cardsList all kanban cards. Optionally filter by status, priority, assignee, label, searchQuery, or metadata fields. Fuzzy search also applies to metadata values, while metaFilter remains available for structured field-specific searches.
get_cardGet full details of a specific kanban card by ID. Supports partial ID matching.
get_active_cardGet the card currently marked as active/open in the workspace. Returns null when no card is active.
create_cardCreate a new kanban card. Returns the created card. Supports form attachments and persisted per-form data for form-aware workflows.
update_cardUpdate fields of an existing kanban card. Only specified fields are changed. Supports replacing attached forms and persisted per-form data.
submit_card_formSubmit a named/resolved form for a card using the SDK-owned validation and persistence contract. Returns the canonical persisted payload and form/card context.
move_cardMove a kanban card to a different status column.
delete_cardSoft-delete a kanban card (moves to deleted status). Use permanent_delete_card to remove from disk.
permanent_delete_cardPermanently delete a kanban card from disk. This cannot be undone.
trigger_actionTrigger a named action on a card. The action name must match one of the card's configured actions. Emits a card.action.triggered event delivered to registered webhooks.
list_attachmentsList all attachments on a kanban card.
add_attachmentAdd a file attachment to a kanban card. Copies the file to the card directory.
remove_attachmentRemove an attachment from a kanban card. Only removes the reference, not the file.
list_commentsList all comments on a kanban card.
add_commentAdd a comment to a kanban card.
stream_commentAdd a comment to a kanban card from a streaming text source. Provide the full content string; it will be written via the streaming path so connected webview clients see it arrive incrementally.
update_commentUpdate the content of a comment on a kanban card.
delete_commentDelete a comment from a kanban card.
list_logsList all log entries for a kanban card. Logs are stored in a dedicated .log file.
add_logAdd a log entry to a kanban card. The log is appended to the card's .log file.
clear_logsClear all log entries for a kanban card by deleting the .log file. New logs will recreate it.
list_columnsList all kanban board columns.
add_columnAdd a new column to the kanban board.
update_columnUpdate an existing kanban board column.
remove_columnRemove a column from the kanban board. Fails if any cards are in the column.
reorder_columnsReorder columns on a board by providing the full ordered list of column IDs.
set_minimized_columnsPersist the minimized column IDs for a board to the config file. Pass an empty array to clear all minimized columns.
cleanup_columnMove all cards in a column to the deleted (soft-delete) column. The column itself is kept.
list_labelsList all label definitions with colors and groups
set_labelCreate or update a label definition
rename_labelRename a label (cascades to all cards)
delete_labelRemove a label definition and remove it from all cards
get_settingsGet the current kanban board display settings.
update_settingsUpdate kanban board display settings. Only specified fields are changed.
list_available_eventsList discoverable SDK events, including built-in before/after events and any plugin-declared additions. Supports optional phase and wildcard mask filtering.
get_auth_statusGet the active auth providers and host token-source diagnostics for the MCP server.
get_workspace_infoGet the workspace root path, cards directory, active storage engine, and configured-versus-effective config.storage status.
get_storage_statusGet the current storage engine type plus configured-versus-effective config.storage status, including explicit failure or degraded state when present.
migrate_to_sqliteMigrate all card data from the current markdown storage to a SQLite database. Updates .kanban.json automatically.
migrate_to_markdownMigrate all card data from SQLite back to individual markdown files. Updates .kanban.json automatically.
get_card_state_statusGet the active card-state provider status for this workspace.
get_card_stateGet the side-effect-free unread/open summary for one card. Supports partial ID matching and never mutates unread state implicitly.
open_cardPersist an explicit actor-scoped open mutation through the shared SDK card-state APIs. This acknowledges unread activity and records open-card state without changing active-card UI state.
read_cardPersist an explicit actor-scoped unread acknowledgement through the shared SDK card-state APIs without changing open-card state.
list_plugin_settingsList the capability-grouped plugin provider inventory for this workspace, including selected config.storage resolution state when present.
get_plugin_settingsRead the redacted provider state for one capability/provider pair, including configured-versus-effective config.storage resolution details when applicable.
select_plugin_settings_providerPersist the selected provider for a plugin capability and return the redacted provider read model. Rejected config.storage topology mutations are surfaced as explicit errors.
update_plugin_settings_optionsPersist provider options for a capability/provider pair and return the redacted provider read model, preserving explicit config.storage error/degraded state when reported by the SDK.
install_plugin_settings_packageInstall a supported plugin package with the shared SDK guardrails and return the redacted install result.
list_card_checklist_itemsList the checklist items for a card, including expectedRaw values for optimistic concurrency.
add_card_checklist_itemAdd a checklist item to a card and return the caller-scoped checklist payload. expectedToken is required to avoid lost concurrent appends.
edit_card_checklist_itemEdit an existing checklist item. modifiedAt is recommended to avoid stale overwrites.
delete_card_checklist_itemDelete an existing checklist item. modifiedAt is recommended to avoid stale deletes.
check_card_checklist_itemMark a checklist item as checked. modifiedAt is recommended to avoid stale writes.
uncheck_card_checklist_itemMark a checklist item as unchecked. modifiedAt is recommended to avoid stale writes.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

KANBAN_CONFIGKANBAN_DIRKANBAN_FEATURES_DIRKANBAN_LITE_TOKENKANBAN_TOKENTool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
67/67 tools missing one or more hints — list_boards (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); create_board (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_board (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +64 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool test coverage
25/67 tools referenced in tests (37%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 6 high severity in production deps — @hono/node-server@1.19.9 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
