What others charge extra for,
we build in

Every feature. Every tier. No add-on pricing.

USP 01

Time tracking, included

Log time per issue, filter by project or date range. Export-ready data for invoicing. No Toggl subscription needed.

Linear — no native time tracking
Asana — no native time tracking
GitHub Projects — no time tracking
USP 02

AI-native from day one

MCP tools let Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex read issues, log time, move cards, and plan sprints — all from your terminal. No browser needed.

One of the first PM tools
with an MCP server
USP 03

European by default

Amsterdam-hosted, database-per-tenant isolation. Your data physically stays in the EU. Built for GDPR from day one, not retrofitted.

Linear — US-hosted
Jira — US-hosted (Cloud)
Shortcut — US-hosted

The full arsenal

One tool. No switching. No noise. Built for developers who ship, not developers who administrate.

Sprint Planning

Scope the sprint. Assign the work. Unfinished issues carry over automatically when the sprint closes.

Time Tracking

One click per issue. Filter by project or date range. Export to XLSX when the invoice is due.

GitHub Integration

Branch linked. PR synced. Code merged — card moves to Done. Webhook-driven, zero manual updates.

Epics & Timeline

Group issues into epics. Set start and end dates. Track progress across sprints. Your roadmap, not a spreadsheet.

Audit-Grade Compliance

Hash-chained logs. Tamper-proof by design. Every action recorded — including AI calls.

Teams & Roles

Five roles from Admin to Viewer. Two-tier authorization — permissions enforced at both the gate and the action. No shortcuts.

Your AI assistant manages the board.
You don’t have to.

When your agent is coding, it should know the full picture — and keep it current.

Read issues and context — AI gets the full picture: description, comments, blocking dependencies, and linked PRs.
Create, update, and move issues — Ship a fix? The AI moves the card to Done and logs the time spent.
Plan sprints and log time — Your AI can query time entries, manage sprint assignments, and track epics.
Link branches automatically — When your AI creates a branch, it's linked to the right issue instantly.

Work the board from your terminal.
No browser, no detour.

Available now

kendo ships a Go-based command-line interface so you can hit your board from any terminal window — create issues, check the board, log time — without switching context to a browser. Think gh for project management.

Use MCP when your AI assistant is working. Use the CLI when you are. Both talk to the same board.

Install the CLI

How kendo
stacks up.

Side by side. No marketing fluff — just what ships.

Before you step into the dojo

What is kendo.dev?

Board, sprints, time tracking, GitHub sync, and an MCP server for AI assistants. Built for dev teams. Hosted in Amsterdam. Currently in active development.

How does the MCP integration work?

Tools and resources connect directly to Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Your AI reads issues, logs time, moves cards, and plans sprints — without leaving the terminal.

How is it different from Linear or Jira?

Time tracking is built in, not an add-on. Audit logs are hash-chained, not an enterprise upsell. Data stays in Amsterdam, not Virginia. And the MCP server means your AI assistant is a first-class citizen.

Where is my data stored?

Amsterdam. Each workspace gets its own database — physically separated from other tenants. GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by policy.
