What is AgentBoard
Imagine a regular board with task cards. You create tasks, assign someone responsible and oversee the work. AI workers receive only their assigned tasks via MCP and report progress. You decide when the task is finally ready.
Project - a folder on the computer and a separate board. Task - a card with a description, responsible person and stage. Worker is the logical name of the AI client. MCP is the way the AI client connects to the AgentBoard. Scoop is a software installation manager for Windows.
No code required. You need Windows, a browser, PowerShell and, for AI to work, an installed AI client with support for local MCP servers.
First launch
- Install the application according to instructions.
- Create a project folder in Explorer, for example
C:\Projects\MyFirstProject. - Open this folder in Explorer. Click in the address bar, type
powershelland press Enter. - In the window that opens, do:
agentboard init
agentboard open
- A browser will open at
http://127.0.0.1:7337. Leave the PowerShell window open while you use the board. Closing the window will stop the local server, but the tasks will remain.
If the agentboard command is not found, close PowerShell and reopen after installing Scoop. When installing from a ZIP, use the full path to agentboard.exe.
First task
Click New task, fill in Title, if necessary Description, then Save. A new task in Backlog is available to a person. For the AI to start working, assign a worker and move the task to Features. Step-by-step description of the fields - TASKS.md.
First worker
Open Workers → Add worker. Select the AI client you are using (for example Codex or Claude Code), check the name and short identifier Slug, click Save. Open the created worker: there is an MCP configuration, a copy button and a server check. Copy the configuration to the AI client according to WORKERS_MCP.md. Once connected, have the client call get_my_board.
