What is It's a Plan?
This self-hosted, open-source issue tracker lets AI agents work alongside human team members on shared boards. It provides four layout options over a single dataset, plus initiatives for goal tracking, a freeform notes canvas, and live dashboards. The platform includes a REST API with OpenAPI spec, an MCP server for AI assistants, webhooks, and pull-request linking from five major Git forges. Authentication supports email/password, passkeys, Google sign-in, OIDC, and SAML/SCIM (Pro edition). It runs on PostgreSQL with RustFS for S3-compatible attachment storage, deployed via Docker Compose, Railway, Coolify, or Kubernetes Helm. The Community edition is free under AGPL-3.0; a Pro edition adds unlimited workspaces, audit logs, advanced agent schedules, AI budgets, and per-workspace SSO/SCIM for a flat $240/year per domain.
