Can Claude make a kanban board?

Yes, to look at. Claude can lay out a board as a table, or build one as an artifact you can click through. The tasks live in that chat or artifact, though, and Projects and memory keep notes rather than task ids and due dates that every chat reads the same way. Connect the Kanban server (free token) and Claude adds tasks with ids, due dates and estimates, moves them between columns, shows each board with totals, and lists every overdue task across your boards.

Does it work with the Time Tracker?
task_start_timer returns the arguments for the Time Tracker's timer_start and records the link. It starts nothing itself.
What is free, and what does Pro add?
Three boards with up to 200 open tasks, the default columns and this week's review are free. Pro is $19 once for the Kanban server, or $39 once for all 49 servers. It adds custom columns and reviews of past weeks.
Is the server free?
The hosted Kanban server has a free tier. A free token lasts 30 days and allows 600 calls an hour, with no account. Some features are Pro, and the server page lists what is free and what is not.
