A secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for WorkBoard OKR and strategy execution platform.

Overview

This MCP server is designed to be:

• Secure by default - Comprehensive threat modeling, input validation, and token protection
• No third-party services - Runs locally via stdio, your API token never leaves your machine
• Cross-platform - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Automatically updated - GitHub Actions monitor for CVEs and update dependencies
• Containerized - Available at quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-workboard built on Hummingbird Python base image

Naming Convention
