I built “Trello for Claude Code” (open source) — with a built-in Scrum Master

Orchestro is an open-source MCP server + web dashboard for Claude Code.
Think Trello for Claude Code — but with a built-in Scrum Master that keeps the board honest and agents that move the cards from goal → tasks → code as work happens.

• Website: orchestro.org
• Repo: github.com/khaoss85/mcp-orchestro
• License: MIT • Try time: ~2 minutes

Why I built it

Even with the best agent UX I’ve tried (Claude Code), I kept hitting the same walls:

  • intent/decisions buried in prompts
  • dependencies invisible until too late
  • handoff goal → tasks → code drops context
  • PMs and devs don’t see the same board

I wanted a thin, no-drama layer that keeps the plan visible and the execution honest—without killing speed.

What it does

  • Board that actually executes: plan in Kanban, the MCP server drives the flow
  • Scrum Master (auto): decomposes stories, sets dependencies, keeps lane hygiene
  • Agents move cards: prep context-rich prompts for Claude and move work across columns
  • Live status: you and your PM see the same board in real time
  • Local-first: your data lives in your Supabase; no hardcoded secrets

Quick start

npx [@orchestro](/orchestro)/init
npm run dashboard    # opens http://localhost:3000
(restart Claude Code, then ask: "Show me orchestro tools")

My ask (open source)

I shipped my first MCP here and want real users (especially heavy Claude Code folks) to break it and tell me what hurts.

  • ⭐ If useful, star the repo
  • 🐞 If not, open an issue (what blocked you? where did it feel slow?)
  • 🔧 PRs and brutal feedback welcome
  • 🗣️ If you run a team and try it, a 10–15 min call to debrief would help me prioritize

Who should try this

  • Builders who live in Claude Code and want fewer invisible steps
  • Solo founders & small teams doing vibe coding but needing a clean map for stakeholders
  • PMs who want to see progress without spelunking through prompts

Roadmap (short)

  • PM-friendly exports & notifications
  • Velocity/estimation & lightweight metrics
  • Slack/Teams hooks

If it helps you ship faster, awesome.
If it doesn’t, please tell me why so I can fix the right thing.
