Kaiten

Overview

Kaiten is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you manage Kaiten spaces, boards, cards, comments, and tags directly from your AI assistant. Instead of switching between applications, Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can call Kaiten as a native tool, keeping your workflow seamless and responses compact.

The server runs locally on your machine using the Python package kaiten-mcp, installed via uvx kaiten-mcp. You'll need to provide your Kaiten API token through the KAITEN_API_TOKEN environment variable to authenticate. Version v0.1.0 is available now under the MIT license, with full source code at evvfebruary/kaiten-mcp on GitHub.

Kaiten appears in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you're the maintainer, claim this listing to earn a Verified badge and ensure the information stays up to date.
