Question 1

What is DriveBoard?

Accepted Answer

DriveBoard is a project management SaaS that syncs all your tasks and boards to native Google Drive files (Sheets and Docs). It combines the power of Trello-style Kanban boards with the familiarity and flexibility of Google Drive.

Question 2

How does Google Drive sync work?

Accepted Answer

When you create a project, DriveBoard automatically creates a Google Sheet to store tasks and a Google Doc for detailed notes. Any changes you make in DriveBoard sync to Google Drive in real-time, and vice versa.

Question 3

Is DriveBoard free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DriveBoard offers a free tier with unlimited projects and tasks. Paid plans are available for advanced features like the AI assistant, MCP integration, and higher usage limits.

Question 4

What is the MCP server and how do I use it?

Accepted Answer

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets you connect AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot directly to your DriveBoard boards. You can list, create, update, and search tasks from inside your AI client. Your data stays scoped to your account, so an AI client only sees the projects and tasks you own or have access to.

Question 5

Which AI clients work with the DriveBoard MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and Continue. You add your DriveBoard MCP endpoint URL to the client config as an HTTP server with a Bearer authorization header. Full setup instructions are in the MCP documentation page.

Question 6

What kind of notifications does DriveBoard send?

Accepted Answer

DriveBoard sends in-app and email notifications for workspace invites, role changes, task assignments, comment mentions, and project shares. An in-app bell shows unread notifications, and you can review and manage them on the notifications page.

Question 7

Can I control which notifications I receive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open the Settings page and use the notification preferences section to toggle each notification type on or off. You can also search for a specific preference by typing in the settings search bar.

Question 8

What can the AI assistant do?

Accepted Answer

The AI assistant can triage signals into tasks, score tasks with RICE prioritization, match tasks to the right people using skill tags and capacity, and answer questions about your board in plain language. Every proposed change is confirmed with one click before it is applied.

Question 9

Are there limits on the AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

The free tier includes up to 5,000 AI tokens per day and up to 30 MCP calls per day. Paid plans raise this to 100,000 AI tokens per day with unlimited MCP calls. If a limit is reached, access resumes after the daily reset or after a plan upgrade.

Question 10

Can I collaborate with my team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can invite team members to your workspace, assign them to tasks, share projects with specific permissions (viewer or editor), and see real-time cursors showing where collaborators are working.

Question 11

Can I import from Trello or other tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DriveBoard supports importing boards from Trello and other project management tools. Go to the Import page and follow the instructions to migrate your existing projects.

You can delete your account from the Settings page. This will permanently remove all your data, including workspaces, projects, and tasks. Make sure to export any important data before deleting.
