Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Dynamic Kanban
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Install dependencies (pip install websockets pydantic), then start the server (python3 mcp-kanban-server.py), and open kanban-board.html in your browser to connect via WebSocket on port 8765. Add the server to your Claude MCP configuration using the provided JSON snippet.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
