Orbit (noveum) MCP Server
A free, realtime, keyboard-first task manager. Issues, boards, sprints, projects and docs that update the moment anyone changes anything. The polish you expect from a paid task manager, with no per-seat bill at the end of the month. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.
Teams that work with agile, issue tracker and jira alternative and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.
