Planka runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 99 installs a week from npm. Last commit 4 Feb 2026.
MCP server for PLANKA kanban boards. Full CRUD for cards, tasks, comments, and labels.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Planka every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
