Coding agents can complete tickets quickly, but tracking their work often requires watching a terminal or copying status updates between tools. Kanzo gives developers and agents a shared kanban board through a small open-source Rust binary.
A single installation serves a browser interface at localhost:4242 and provides a Model Context Protocol server for Claude Code, Codex, and other compatible clients. MCP is a standard that lets AI clients discover and call external tools. Kanzo uses it to let agents claim cards, update their status, and post comments while the browser reflects those changes in real time.
One binary, two views
Kanzo presents the same task data through a browser for people and MCP tools for agents. An agent can take the next card, move it to doing, report progress, and leave the result ready for review.
The project supplies a one-line installer for macOS and Linux, including Raspberry Pi. Rust users can install it with cargo install kanzo.
Five commands cover the workflow
