01 / The workflow

Plan, run, and review.

Keep the task, conversation, and code together. Watch how planning, agent sessions, and code review work in Kandev.

  1. 01

    Make a plan

    Turn the task into a shared plan. Give your agent the context it needs.

  2. 02

    Run in parallel

    Keep work separate with isolated worktrees and your choice of agents.

  3. 03

    Review and ship

    Inspect the diff, leave feedback, and decide when the work is ready.

01 / 07

Shape the work before code starts

Plan with the agent, comment on exact steps, and move forward only when the approach is ready.

Each task keeps its plan, conversation, and code changes together.

02 / Automation

Keep work moving.

Start work through MCP, webhooks, or schedules. Keep the task, conversation, and review in the same place.

EXAMPLE / MCP

Connect your agent to Kandev

External agents can manage tasks, read plans, and exchange messages through MCP. This JSON uses the default local port; authentication requires a personal access token.

04 / Agents and integrations

Choose your agents and tools.

Agents use only the repository, integration, and executor access your team grants. Operate the same reviewable task model on a developer machine or a local or remote server.

Human-gated workflows

Plan, review, and approval gates keep the developer responsible for what ships.

Coordinator-led work

Kandev MCP lets an agent create subtasks, share plans, attach branches, and hand work off.

Daily engineering

Bring tickets, code, pull requests, reviews, automations, and quick chat into one workbench.
