MCP server now shipping — agents can write to your backlog →

Plan by importance,
not just status — and let your AI agents help.

A Kanban + value/effort matrix that small teams actually use, with first-class MCP integration so AI agents can read and update your backlog as they work.

Features

Just enough tracker. Nothing you'll have to unlearn.

Two views, shared data, an audit trail, and a typed API surface that humans and agents can both drive.

01

Value / Effort / Desirability matrix

Drag items into a 5×5 grid. Quadrants: Quick Wins, Big Bets, Fill-ins, Avoid. Reorder within cells by importance. Plan once, ship in priority order.

02

Kanban board for execution

Backlog → To Do → In Progress → Review → Done. Drag-drop, subtask progress on parent cards, full-text search, milestone filters. The familiar bit.

03

AI-native via MCP

Agents call typed tools to list, claim, update, and move items. Multi-AI safety conventions baked in. Same surface available to any AI via REST + opaque API keys.

04

Stories + tasks with audit trail

Stories for thinking, tasks for steps, linked. Append-only changeLog plus auto-activity log. Concurrent-safe edits — no clobbering when multiple humans (or AIs) work in parallel.

The differentiator

Built for an AI-augmented backlog.

Most trackers were built for humans clicking buttons. Project Tracker was built knowing AI agents would be writing to it as much as people. Whether your agent speaks MCP, or is anything that can run curl, it reads the backlog, claims items, does the work, and appends to the change log — with conventions that prevent agents stepping on each other.

Audience

Opinionated about who this is for.

If you've bounced off heavier trackers, you're probably in the right place. If you need enterprise governance, you're not — and we'd rather say so up front.

For

YES
  • Founders, indie devs, and consultants juggling multiple projects
  • Product, finance, and ops teams organising their own work
  • Small teams (2–10) tired of Jira's ceremony
  • Anyone using AI agents to get work done

Not for

NO
  • Enterprise sprint orchestration
  • Regulated industries needing SSO/SAML
  • Teams that want a deep dependency graph
  • Anyone selling certifications
