MCP: no agent-side hard deletes

The remote MCP server no longer exposes delete_project, delete_task, or delete_task_comment. Agents can still list, create, and update boards; permanent deletion stays in the signed-in web app. Authenticated MCP traffic is rate-limited, and unauthenticated calls return WWW-Authenticate: Bearer.

MCP: drive your board from Cursor & Claude

Kanban AI now exposes a remote MCP server so coding agents can list projects, create and update tasks, and read board context without leaving your editor.

Sign in → open Connect AI (/connect) → copy the generated config into Cursor or Claude Desktop.
Setup walkthrough: Connect Claude & Cursor (MCP).
Personal MCP keys (kai_…) do not expire; rotate from Connect AI if a key is compromised or you get 401.

In progress: new project experience

We are revamping how you start a project—both the blank board path and the AI project builder. Expect clearer first-run flows, a tighter brief → board handoff, and more polish around creating and refining the initial workspace.

The current paths still work today (/new-project and /new-project/ai). See Creating your first project for the existing behavior while we ship the redesign.

How we write these notes

We keep this page focused on user-visible changes. Operator details (env vars, registry) stay in the README and MCP registry docs.
