Our verdict on Collattice

Collattice is a self-hosted kanban board for small teams coordinating work between people and AI agents. It runs as a single executable with an embedded SQLite database, and provides a browser-based workspace for drag-and-drop cards, lanes, Markdown, labels, attachments, archiving, search, and multiple boards. Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and API access make it suitable for developers who want an open-source board they can run and extend within their own environment.

The standout capability is its built-in MCP server for AI-agent board operations. Agents can create, move, update, comment on, label, archive, and search cards, while the REST API provides another integration path. Real-time updates through Server-Sent Events help keep connected views current, and outbound webhooks support selected board events with optional HMAC signing. Rich Markdown rendering, including code blocks, tables, task lists, and Mermaid diagrams, gives technical teams a useful format for requirements, implementation notes, and workflow documentation.

Collattice fits developers who value self-hosting, source availability, and programmable workflows more than a broad commercial ecosystem. The single-executable design can keep deployment focused, but self-hosting still leaves the team responsible for operating the application and its environment. Labels are board-scoped, and teams that do not need MCP, REST automation, or webhooks may find its developer-oriented feature set more involved than necessary. Choose Collattice for an open-source, AI-aware kanban workspace; choose a more conventional hosted board when managed operations and a simpler team workflow matter more.
