kanzo
by emanuele-em
Kanzo is a small kanban board that runs in your browser and also works as an MCP server, so you and your AI coding agents share the same task list. All data sits in one local folder, which can be synced between machines through a private git repository.

What you can do with it
- Manage projects and tasks on a kanban board in your browser
- Connect Claude Code or Codex so agents pick up tasks, move cards and leave comments
- Sync the board between laptop, desktop and Raspberry Pi through a private git repo
Make money with it
A freelance developer could use it to run agent-assisted client work more efficiently and take on more projects at the same time.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Keep a freelance or small-team development backlog without paying for a hosted project tool
- Hand defined tasks to AI coding agents and track their progress and comments in one place
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence. Running it as an online service also counts, so a hosted version must offer its source.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install with a one-line shell script on macOS or Linux, or with `cargo install kanzo`, then run `kanzo` to start the board.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- AGPL-3.0 licence requires sharing source if you offer a modified version over a network
- No logins: opening it to your network is only safe on a trusted network
- Installers cover macOS and Linux only; Windows is not mentioned
- Sync is for switching machines, not simultaneous use on several machines
