From zero to AI-driven board.
Three steps, roughly three minutes. By the end you will have a live Scrumban board that your AI can read from and write to.
Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.
1. Create your workspace
Head to letsweft.com/sign-up and finish the form. You will land on an empty board with four columns already provisioned: Backlog, Todo, Doing, Done.
Free accounts get 50 tasks on the board and 200 AI calls a month (the first 48 hours are unmetered, so an import lands in full) — plenty for the quickstart and a few sprints. No credit card.
2. Connect your AI
Weft exposes a single MCP endpoint, https://letsweft.com/api/mcp, protected by OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration. That means your AI client can discover and register itself — you just sign in once in a browser popup.
Pick your client from the integrations page and copy its configuration snippet. A few common ones:
- Claude Code — one shell command:
claude mcp add --transport http weft https://letsweft.com/api/mcp - Cursor — one-click “Add to Cursor” button on the setup page, or a JSON entry in
~/.cursor/mcp.json. - ChatGPT — Weft is a published plugin: Plugins → search “Weft” → Connect. Then @-mention it: “@Weft show my board”.
3. Ask your AI to do something
Open your AI client and try any of these prompts. The Model Context Protocol treats tools as model-controlled: a server exposes executable functions and the model decides when to invoke them, which is why a plain sentence is all you need to type. Your AI will call the right Weft tool, and you will see the result on the board in real time.
- “What's on my Weft board?”
- “Add a high-priority task: write the launch post.”
- “Move the auth refactor into Doing.”
- “Start a one-week sprint focused on shipping the landing.”
- “Complete the current sprint and archive everything.”
The first three will land instantly; the last two affect sprint state and your AI should confirm before calling them.
