AgileHero
AgileHero is an agile project management workspace that combines kanban boards, backlog, epics, roadmap, retrospectives, whiteboards, and a wiki in one product. It is delivered as a SaaS offering and includes a built-in MCP server that lets AI assistants operate the same project data. The MCP server exposes 49 tools for AI agents across boards, backlog, epics, wiki, whiteboards, retrospectives, and roadmap. The documented endpoint is https://mcp.agilehero.io/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP (POST). Connection is made by adding the endpoint URL to an MCP-capable client, then signing in through a browser with an AgileHero account. There is no API key to create or paste, and the AI client acts as the signed-in user with exactly that user's permissions. Connected clients are listed under Settings → AI clients and can be revoked at any time. The documentation provides setup guides for Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Codex, Zed, GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude web/desktop/Cowork, ChatGPT, and other clients. Rich text throughout the server uses AgileHero Markup (AHM), a strict, validated XML dialect designed so agents do not corrupt human-authored content. The MCP tool reference is generated from the server itself.

Problem solved
Agile project management information is often fragmented across boards, planning docs, whiteboards, retrospectives, and roadmaps, while AI assistants lack secure access to that project context. AgileHero addresses this by combining those artifacts in one workspace and exposing them through a permissioned MCP server, so AI assistants can read and act on boards, backlog, epics, wiki, whiteboards, retrospectives, and roadmap without custom integrations or manual copy-paste.
Use cases
- Ask an AI coding assistant to create or update backlog items and epics from development discussions.
- Generate and maintain kanban board cards from AI-assisted planning sessions.
- Query project wiki pages and roadmap items through an MCP-capable assistant to answer team questions.
- Create and edit whiteboard diagrams with server-side diagram layout through AI prompts.
- Run retrospectives and capture action items via an AI assistant.
- Connect Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Codex, Zed, GitHub Copilot CLI, or ChatGPT to AgileHero projects for agentic project updates.
- Manage agile project artifacts across boards, backlog, epics, wiki, whiteboards, and roadmap from one workspace.
