ChimeDeck is a feature-rich open-source work management platform, particularly suited for teams aiming to leverage AI agents for workflow automation. It offers comprehensive task management and AI integration via MCP. However, self-hosting requires technical expertise and infrastructure, and the project may still be actively developed.
ChimeDeck is a full-stack workspace and card management app featuring boards, lists, comments, attachments, pricing tools, CLI commands, and automated tests. It enables MCP-compatible AI agents to directly create tasks, update cards, search work, and add comments, facilitating collaboration with human teams. Built with React, Bun/TypeScript, and an extensible server/client architecture for rapid product iteration.
Tools
