About
Veritas Kanban is a local-first task management and AI agent orchestration platform — a visual Kanban board designed specifically to work with autonomous coding agents like OpenClaw. It includes an MCP server with 26 tools, a REST API, WebSocket support, a CLI, and a prompt registry. Self-hosted via Docker or pnpm dev; tasks stored as markdown files. Created by Brad Groux (CEO of Digital Meld) and currently has 625 stars on GitHub.
Developers who want a local-first Kanban board that their AI coding agents can directly read from and write to — particularly OpenClaw and Claude Code users who want a persistent task queue their agent can manage autonomously between sessions.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- check 625 GitHub stars and 618 commits suggests active development and real community adoption
- check MCP server with 26 tools makes it directly usable by Claude Code and other MCP-compatible agents
- check Local-first with markdown file storage — no vendor lock-in, full data control, works offline
- check Full agent integration: agents can clone, set up, and start the board with a single natural-language prompt
- check Comprehensive documentation: MCP guide, API reference, getting started guide, agent task workflow SOP
Cons
- close Self-hosted only — requires Docker or Node.js/pnpm setup; not a SaaS product
