Kagan MCP Server

Supervised kanban for AI coding agents inside OpenCode. Docs · Quickstart Kagan is an OpenCode plugin that turns agent work into supervised tasks on a kanban board. Each task is an OpenCode session running in an isolated git worktree, moving through Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done with a gate at every transition - intake before the agent runs, review before you approve, merge only on your say-so.

People connecting automation tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
