Plan. Build. Ship.

Plan boldly.
Ship relentlessly.

Dragon Planner brings AI into every layer of your project workflow — from sprint planning to backlog grooming — so your team can focus on building, not managing.

Everything your team needs,
nothing it doesn't.

Built for teams that ship. Dragon Planner strips away the bloat and gives you the tools that actually move projects forward.

Built on Model Context Protocol

Dragon Planner is one of the first project management tools built with MCP at its core. Connect Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant, directly to your project data.

  • Create, update, and close work items from your terminal or IDE
  • AI queries your backlog to surface blockers and suggest next steps
  • Per-item AI context guides Claude on how to handle specific work

Deep Work Item Hierarchy

Seven work item types with enforced parent-child relationships. Structure work the way your team actually thinks — from high-level initiatives down to individual subtasks.

  • Initiatives, Epics, Stories, Bugs, Tasks, SubTasks, and Spikes
  • Tree view with expand/collapse — see the full picture or drill into details
  • Cascade complete — mark a parent done and all children close with it
  • Dependencies with Blocks, Relates To, and Duplicate link types

Work item detail modal showing comments, activity timeline, and metadata

Collaboration

Comment threads, activity timelines, file attachments, and @mentions keep your team in sync.

Insights that drive decisions

Burndown charts, velocity tracking, and audit logs give you the clarity to plan better sprints and ship more predictably.

Sprint burndown and burnup charts showing remaining work vs ideal trajectory

Sprint Burndown

Track remaining work against the ideal burndown line. Burnup charts show completed vs total scope.

Sprint velocity chart comparing committed vs completed story points

Sprint Velocity

Compare committed vs completed story points across sprints. Spot trends and right-size future sprints.

Dashboard showing work item stats, status distribution donut chart, and type breakdown

Dashboard

At-a-glance metrics across all workspaces — work items, story points, completion rates, and blockers.

Audit log showing team activity with filters for project, user, and action type

Audit Log

Full accountability — who did what, when, and from where. Filter by project, user, or action type.

Built for AI from day one

Dragon Planner doesn't bolt on AI as an afterthought. Every feature is accessible through the Model Context Protocol — 15 tools across 4 categories, with real auth, real permissions, and a real audit trail.

Full Project Control

Create, update, move, and close work items across a 7-level hierarchy — from initiatives down to subtasks. Mark a parent done and cascade-complete all children. Manage sprints, program increments, and attachments without leaving your terminal.

Smart Recommendations

Ask "what should I work on next?" and get dependency-aware suggestions. The engine surfaces highest-priority items whose blockers are all resolved — no more stale backlogs or blocked surprises.

Jira Bridge

Generate Jira-compatible payloads, sync reference keys, and bulk-update links. Plan in Dragon Planner, push to Jira when your org requires it — without Dragon Planner ever calling Jira directly.

Enterprise-Grade Security

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE authentication. Fine-grained permissions per resource type — read, write, and delete scoped independently. Plan-aware rate limiting, connection caps, and a full audit trail on every action.

From idea to shipped in three steps

No elaborate setup. No week-long onboarding. Just sign in and start planning.

1

Create your workspace

Sign up and your first workspace, project, and free plan are created automatically. Invite your team with email invitations, assign Builder or Collaborator seats, and start structuring work immediately.

2

Plan your sprints

Build your backlog with a full work item hierarchy — from initiatives down to subtasks. Set up Program Increments and sprint cadences, or go pure Kanban. The AI recommendation engine tells you what to tackle next based on priority and resolved dependencies.

3

Ship with AI at your side

Connect Claude or any MCP client to your Dragon Planner server. Query your backlog, create work items, attach files, mark tasks complete, and groom your project — all from the terminal, your IDE, or anywhere MCP runs.
