What the publisher says
From the Kanban AI repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Kanban AI
Open-source AI kanban for side projects. Plan with AI, manage a board in the browser, and (optionally) drive the same board from Cursor or Claude via MCP.
Try the hosted app: kanbanai.dev · Docs: kanbanai.dev/docs · Release updates: kanbanai.dev/docs/release-updates
Most people cloning this repo want the local app. That path is first below.
Run locally (recommended)
No Supabase account, no sign-in. One SQLite database under .local/ (gitignored). Vite serves the UI; a small local API on port 3000 handles data and OpenAI.
Requirements: Node.js 18+, npm, and an OpenAI API key for AI features.
git clone https://github.com/orholam/kanban_ai.git
cd kanban_ai/frontend
npm install
cp env.local.example .env.localEdit .env.local:
VITE_LOCAL_MODE=true
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...Do not prefix the OpenAI key with VITE_ — that would expose it in the browser.
npm run dev:localOpen http://localhost:5173.
What works in local mode
First run applies frontend/scripts/local-schema.sql. Vite proxies /api to the local process (frontend/vite.config.ts).
Useful scripts
Optional: Supabase (cloud auth + sync)
Use this when you want real accounts, multi-device sync, or the hosted MCP server.
- In frontend/.env.local, set VITESUPABASEURL and VITESUPABASEANONKEY, and remove VITELOCAL_MODE (or set it to anything other than true).
- Keep OPENAIAPIKEY for /api/openai.
- From frontend/, run two terminals: npx vercel dev --listen 3000 then npm start. UI: http://localhost:5173.
Deploy on Vercel
Set OPENAIAPIKEY (and Supabase / MCP vars below) in the Vercel project. The OpenAI key is read only on the server — never put it in VITE_* client env.
frontend/vercel.json pins "buildCommand": "npm run build". Leave it there: Vercel's Vite preset otherwise runs bare vite build and silently skips the SEO prerender, which makes every public URL serve the homepage shell and canonical. See frontend/SEO_SETUP.md. AdSense recovery work (crawlable copy, ads off docs) is logged in docs/adsense-approval-log.md.
Ads
Ads are served by TinyAdz/Apitiny via the script tag at the bottom of frontend/index.html (site id + data-test-mode). Two things are easy to break:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
