Managing tickets manually and keeping track of who does what can be tedious. Its a Plan is an open‑source, self‑hosted issue tracker that lets you assign work to AI agents just like teammates, then review their actions. It aims to be a lightweight alternative to Linear or Jira. I’d love your thoughts on it!

Key features
- Give issues to AI agents — Delegate an issue to an agent like you would to a teammate. It comments, moves the issue and hands it back for review.
- Board, table, timeline, calendar — Save any layout and filters as a view, for yourself or the whole team.
- Agents on a schedule — Run an agent every morning, every Friday, or when an issue changes state.
- Any model or your own CLI — Hosted agents use your API key. Local ones run Claude Code or Codex on your machine.
- Dashboards — 11 widgets, from burnup to agent health. The numbers update by themselves.
- Roles per project — Build a role by ticking what it can read, create, edit and delete.
- API, MCP and Git — REST API, an MCP server with 200+ tools, and pull requests from GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
- Runs on your server — One click on Railway, or docker compose up -d on your own server. Coolify and Kubernetes work too. With Pro, Fast Deploy sets up a server on your Hetzner, Vultr or DigitalOcean acc
Use cases
- Software teams: the PM writes the issue, an agent writes the code, an engineer reviews it
- Content teams: editors get a first draft from an agent every morning
- Solo founders: one person and a team of agents, you approve what they ship
- Support desks: every request becomes an issue, sorted before you open it
- Agencies: each client sees only their project, and an agent writes the Friday report

It's a Plan FAQ
Is It's a Plan free?+
Yes. Community is free under AGPL-3.0 for any number of people, with AI agents, REST API and MCP included. Pro adds features for organizations and uses the same database, so you can switch later and keep your data.
How is it different from Linear or Jira?+
It runs on your own server, and the price doesn't grow with your team. AI agents get their own accounts: you assign them issues and review what they did.
Which AI models and agents can I use?+
Hosted agents run on your instance with any model provider, on your own API key. External agents run on your machine with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot or your own command, so your existing subscription works.
Can I connect Claude Code or Cursor to it?+
Yes. The MCP server has over 200 tools on the same API, with the access of your key. Say "take PLAN-132" and the agent picks up the issue.
How do I install it?+
One click on Railway, or docker compose up -d on your own server. Coolify and Kubernetes work too. You can try it on your laptop first, no domain needed.
Can I import my issues from Linear?+
Yes. You can import from Linear, Plane and Trello.
