Why it matters

Useful for Scrum teams tired of paying for Jira/ClickUp and tired of pretending their AI assistant is a teammate. Self-host Paca (single Go binary + Postgres), enable the MCP server, point Claude Code or OpenHands at it, and watch agents pick up tasks from the board and write BDD specs the same way humans do.

Who should use it

Scrum teams tired of paying for Jira/ClickUp and tired of pretending their AI assistant is a teammate self-hosted teams who need project management on their own infrastructure (single Go binary + Postgres) agent developers who want Claude Code / OpenHands / Codex to pick up tasks from the board via MCP teams who want full configurability via WASM plugins instead of forking the project management binary BDD teams who want AI agents writing Gherkin specs alongside humans
