Developer Task Board with AI & GitHub Integration

Developers need task tracking that stays out of the way. Between updating tickets, attending standups, syncing with design, and keeping stakeholders informed - the actual coding gets squeezed. Traditional project management tools weren't built for engineering workflows. You need something that integrates with your editor, syncs with GitHub, and doesn't require clicking through endless menus.

t0ggles is developer task management that actually fits how you work: an MCP server that lets AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex) manage tasks directly from your editor, native GitHub integration, task dependencies with critical path visualization, and keyboard-first navigation. All for $5/user/month with no feature tiers.

#The Challenge: Why Developers Need Better Tools

Most project management tools treat development as an afterthought - built for project managers who need pretty reports, not engineers who need to ship code. The result is friction everywhere:

Context switching kills focus. Every tab switch, every form fill, every dropdown click pulls you out of the zone. Developer tools should feel like an extension of your workflow, not an interruption.

Manual syncing wastes hours. Updating tickets after every commit, closing issues after merging PRs, keeping stakeholders informed about progress - the overhead adds up to hours per week that could be spent building.

Dependencies are invisible. Modern software is interconnected. The frontend can't ship until the API is ready. The API can't ship until the schema migration runs. Tracking these relationships in your head or in spreadsheets doesn't scale.

Enterprise tools are overkill. Jira was built for 500-person organizations with dedicated project managers. The 45-minute setup, Byzantine permissions, and feature bloat make no sense for a team that just wants to ship.

#How t0ggles Helps Developers Ship Faster

#GitHub Integration: Code And Tasks In Sync

t0ggles connects directly to your GitHub repositories with two-way sync. Create a task, link it to an issue - changes flow both directions automatically.

The real power is in commit and PR linking. Reference a task ID in your commit message or PR title, and t0ggles:

• Links the commit/PR to the task automatically
• Shows commit history and PR status directly on the task card
• Can auto-move tasks to "In Review" when a PR opens
• Can auto-complete tasks when PRs merge

No more manually updating tickets after every merge. No more "did this ship?" questions from stakeholders. The code is the source of truth, and t0ggles reflects it.

#AI Task Creation: Meeting Notes To Tickets In Seconds

Sprint planning generates ideas fast. Tech debt discussions surface dozens of items. Bug reports come in natural language. Converting all of this into properly structured tickets is tedious.

t0ggles' AI task creation handles the conversion. Paste your meeting notes or describe the work in plain English:

"Refactor the authentication module - extract token validation into middleware, add refresh token rotation, update the user session schema. Block the mobile auth work until this is done. High priority, assign to backend team."

The AI creates a structured task with subtasks, dependencies, priority, tags, and assignees. One prompt, zero forms. The same AI assistant helps you write clear descriptions, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications directly in the rich text editor.

#Task Dependencies: Visualize Your Critical Path

Software development is sequential by nature. Database migrations before API changes. API changes before frontend updates. Frontend updates before QA. QA before release.

t0ggles includes native task dependencies with:

• Predecessor/successor relationships: Task B can't start until Task A completes
• Lag days: Add buffer time between dependent tasks (deploy API, wait 24 hours for monitoring, then deploy frontend)
• Circular dependency detection: The system catches impossible sequences before they waste your time

In Gantt view, dependency lines connect tasks visually. The critical path - the sequence of tasks that determines your ship date - becomes immediately obvious. When someone asks "when will this ship?", you have a defensible answer based on real dependencies, not guesswork.

#Multi-Project Boards: All Your Work Visible

Developers rarely work on one thing. You might be shipping a feature, fixing production bugs, tackling tech debt, and mentoring a junior dev - all in the same sprint.

t0ggles lets you manage multiple projects on one board. Color-coded projects sit side by side: Feature Development, Bug Fixes, Infrastructure, Documentation. See everything at once, or use Focus Mode to zoom into a single project when you need to concentrate.

This beats the Jira approach of separate projects requiring constant navigation. Your standup view shows all your work, not just one category.

#Four Views For Different Workflows

Different tasks need different visualizations:

• Kanban/Columns: Sprint execution - what's in progress, what's blocked, what's ready for review
• List View: Backlog grooming - dense, sortable, filterable. Bulk operations for triaging dozens of issues
• Calendar View: Deadline tracking - see what's due this week, this month, this quarter
• Gantt Chart: Release planning - timeline with dependencies for coordinating complex launches

Switch between views instantly. The same data, different lenses depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

#Keyboard-First Navigation

t0ggles is built for people who prefer keyboards over mice. Quick Search (Cmd/Ctrl+K) finds any task, note, or project instantly. Keyboard shortcuts handle common actions: create task, change status, assign, set due date.

No clicking through menus. No hunting for buttons. The interface stays out of your way so you can stay in flow.

#Notes With Code Blocks

Technical documentation lives alongside tasks. The Notes feature includes a rich text editor with:

• Syntax-highlighted code blocks (50+ languages)
• Tables for API documentation and data schemas
• Embedded images and diagrams
• Collapsible folders for organizing architecture docs, runbooks, and decision records
• Zen mode for distraction-free writing

Link notes to related tasks. Reference the architecture doc from implementation tickets. Keep technical context close to the work.

#Board Automations: Less Ticket Management

Repetitive ticket updates are programmer-hostile. Board automations handle the busywork:

• Auto-assign tasks to the dev who created them
• Move tasks to "In Review" when status changes
• Update due dates based on priority changes
• Notify the team channel when tasks hit "Ready for QA"
• Auto-tag tasks based on project or assignee

Set rules once, stop thinking about ticket hygiene forever.

#MCP Server: Your AI Coding Agent Manages Tasks

This is where t0ggles becomes genuinely different. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI coding agents interact with your project board directly. Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex, OpenCode, Cline - any agent that supports MCP can read tasks, create tasks, update status, and mark work complete without you ever leaving your editor.

The workflow looks like this:

You: "What's assigned to me this sprint?"

Agent: queries t0ggles "You have 3 tasks: AUTH-42 (refactor token validation), AUTH-45 (add refresh rotation), and INFRA-12 (update CI pipeline). AUTH-42 is highest priority with a Friday deadline."

You: "Let's work on AUTH-42. Show me the requirements."

Agent: fetches task details "AUTH-42: Extract token validation into middleware. Acceptance criteria: 1) Tokens validated in middleware layer, 2) Invalid tokens return 401, 3) Refresh tokens handled separately..."

You: "Got it. I'll start on this."

Agent: updates task status to In Progress

You code. The agent has full context from the task description. When you're done:

You: "Commit these changes and mark AUTH-42 as done."

Agent: commits with message referencing AUTH-42, updates task to Done

No tab switching. No manual ticket updates. No copying task IDs between windows. The AI agent becomes your interface to project management while you stay in flow.

What your agent can do with t0ggles:

• List tasks by status, assignee, project, or due date
• Read full task details including descriptions, subtasks, and comments
• Create new tasks from natural language (found a bug while coding? tell the agent)
• Update task status, priority, assignee, and due dates
• Add comments to tasks (leave notes for your future self or teammates)
• Search across all tasks and notes
• Check what's blocking you and what you're blocking

This isn't a gimmick - it's a fundamental shift in how developers interact with project management. Instead of the tool demanding your attention, it becomes invisible infrastructure that your AI assistant handles while you focus on code.

For teams using AI-assisted development heavily, this integration alone justifies choosing t0ggles.

#Developer Workflows In t0ggles

#Sprint Execution

Create a board with projects for each workstream: Features, Bugs, Tech Debt, Ops. At sprint planning, move selected tasks to a "Current Sprint" status across all projects.

During the sprint, Kanban view shows progress: To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done. Daily standups take 5 minutes - everyone sees the board state. When a PR merges, GitHub integration updates the task automatically.

End of sprint: switch to List view, bulk-archive completed tasks, review what carried over. Sprint retrospective references the actual work completed, not vague recollections.

#Bug Triage Pipeline

Set up a "Bugs" project with statuses: Reported, Triaged, In Progress, Fixed, Verified, Closed. Enable public task submissions so users can report bugs directly on your public board.

Triage session: open List view, sort by creation date, assign severity using custom properties, bulk-move triaged bugs to the backlog. Critical bugs jump the queue with high priority and immediate assignment.

Automations notify the on-call engineer when anything hits "Critical" priority. The bug stays linked to the fixing PR, the customer who reported it, and any related tasks - full context without digging through Slack history.

#AI-Assisted Development Session

This workflow showcases how t0ggles + MCP transforms the coding experience. You're using Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI coding agent with t0ggles connected.

Start your session by asking your agent what needs work. It queries t0ggles and returns your prioritized task list with context. Pick a task - the agent fetches full details including description, acceptance criteria, and linked documentation.

As you work, the agent has the task context. It knows what you're building and why. When you hit a blocker or discover a related issue, tell the agent to create a task - it handles the ticket creation while you stay in your editor.

Finish the implementation, run tests, commit. Tell the agent to mark the task complete and move to the next one. Your entire development session - from picking work to shipping it - happens without opening a browser tab.

For teams doing heavy AI-assisted development, this removes the last major source of context switching. The project board becomes invisible infrastructure managed by your AI pair programmer.

#Open Source Project Management

For maintainers, t0ggles public boards create transparency without overhead. Make your roadmap visible at a custom domain (roadmap.yourproject.dev). Contributors see what's planned, what's in progress, and what needs help.

Public reactions let the community vote on priorities. Public task submissions capture feature requests structured for action, not buried in GitHub issues. Guest users give trusted contributors access to internal discussions without full board permissions.

The MCP server integration means contributors using AI coding agents can interact with your roadmap directly - check what needs work, claim tasks, submit updates - all from their development environment.

#Why Choose t0ggles Over Alternatives

vs Jira: Jira is powerful but hostile to developers. The setup takes hours, the interface is cluttered, and simple tasks require multiple clicks. t0ggles gives you the dependency tracking and sprint management without the enterprise baggage.

vs Linear: Linear is developer-focused but limited to engineering workflows. When you need to coordinate with marketing, design, or external stakeholders, you're back to switching tools. t0ggles handles cross-functional work on the same board.

vs GitHub Projects: GitHub Projects is free but feature-light. No dependencies, no Gantt view, no AI, limited automations. Fine for simple tracking, insufficient for real project management.

vs Trello: Trello's simplicity comes at the cost of capability. No dependencies, no timeline view, no GitHub integration. You outgrow it fast.

The MCP advantage: None of these tools offer MCP server integration. If you're using AI coding agents - and most developers increasingly are - t0ggles is the only project management tool that works directly with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex, and other MCP-compatible agents. This isn't a minor convenience; it's a fundamental workflow improvement for AI-assisted development.

t0ggles sits in the sweet spot: powerful enough for complex engineering workflows, simple enough that you're productive in 10 minutes, priced like it respects your budget, and built for the AI-assisted development era.
