Paca is a free, open-source, self-hosted project management platform for Scrum teams where AI agents and humans collaborate as equal teammates on the same board and sprints. It is fully customizable via configuration and plugins, and exposes an MCP server so any AI agent can connect and work alongside humans.

Use cases

  • self-hosted alternative to Jira or Trello for sprint planning
  • let AI agents pick up and update tasks on a Scrum board
  • manage a Scrum or Scrumban backlog with human and AI teammates
  • connect AI coding agents to a project board via MCP
  • write BDD specs collaboratively with AI during backlog refinement
  • customize workflow and data model with plugins
  • own your project management data instead of paying per seat

When to choose

  • You want a free, self-hosted Jira/Trello/ClickUp alternative you fully control
  • Your team includes AI agents that should plan sprints and move tasks like human teammates
  • You need deep customization of workflow, data model, and UI via config and plugins
  • You want MCP integration so any AI agent can operate on the board

When to avoid

  • You prefer a managed SaaS with vendor support and no hosting burden
  • You need mature enterprise features like advanced reporting or compliance certifications
  • Your team has no interest in AI-agent collaboration and just needs a simple kanban tool
  • You require a long-proven, battle-tested product for a large organization
