Plane.so: AI-Integrated Project Management

What It Is

  • Self-hosted project management platform (similar to Linear/Jira)
  • Available at plane.so
  • Can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure

Claude Integration

  • Has an MCP server that connects to Claude
  • Claude can manage the entire board
  • Can kick off tasks from Claude conversations
  • Advanced usage (not yet implemented but on roadmap)

Use Case

  • Visualize project tasks and priorities
  • Better than markdown to-do files for complex projects ("I just get all my shit lost when I put it in an MD file")
  • Good for tracking multiple parallel workstreams:
    • SMS campaigns
    • Client onboarding
    • Conversation AI build
    • Funnel development
    • Analytics setup

Current Status

  • Being used for task tracking
  • MCP integration with Claude is planned but not yet active
  • Preferred over plain markdown files for visual organization

Note

  • Described as "heavy" (resource-intensive)
  • Worth the tradeoff for complex multi-project agencies
