remnus — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Open-source workspace for agents and humans. Lets AI assistants read and edit kanban boards, structured databases, and documents.
claude mcp add --transport http remnus https://www.remnus.com/api/mcpWhat remnus does
Remnus connects shared team workspaces directly to AI agents. It manages markdown docs and kanban boards. Coding assistants read and update data over HTTP without manual exports.
The server provides 28 tools and 7 resources. Using prepare_context, agents assemble compact knowledge packs ranked by BM25 scores and freshness. Headless CI jobs require a scoped bearer token for write operations. In Strict mode, the server rejects mutations without an active contextRunId.
What it helps with
- inspect and update kanban task cards from an editor agent
- extract budget-constrained context packs using BM25 ranking
- maintain shared project documentation alongside AI models
- block unauthorized agent edits using Strict mode validation
Example prompts for the agent
- Fetch project context for the database migration using
prepare_context - Add a new task card to our backend kanban board
- Search the Remnus workspace for recently updated API guidelines
