Release notes
Draw and guess — a third icebreaker for the team
A new icebreaker game: one participant draws the word, everyone else watches the line appear and guesses in the chat.

The icebreaker stage now has three games — and in the newest one the team watches someone draw, live.
2026
The cursors and the reactions left the app — and became two open-source packages
Live cursors and flying reactions moved out of the board into live-cursors and live-reactions: two MIT packages on npm that work over any channel, with the mechanics nobody ships — throttling, TTL, rate limits, clustering and an untrusted-wire protocol.
Sprint in one GIF — a second icebreaker for the team
A new icebreaker game: everyone answers the round question with a GIF, and all the answers open at once.
Planning poker over MCP
Set up a poker session from your assistant: find the sprint, open a game, pull its tasks in, and write the agreed estimates back to the tracker.
What guests write stays on the board
Cards, comments, and action items added by people who joined a retrospective without an account no longer disappear from it.
Sign in to MCP clients instead of copying tokens
Claude and other OAuth-capable clients now connect to QRetro with the server address alone: you sign in, approve access, and see connected applications in settings.
MCP and external automation access to retrospective data
QRetro has become part of the team's workflow: added MCP, access keys, and tools for external automations and assistants.
MCP documentation and a clearer integrations layer
Documented the MCP server and tidied up the integrations layer so connecting Slack, Telegram, and work systems is easier to follow.
Deepened the connection between team health and post-retro follow-ups
Strengthened the final stage of the retrospective to make it easier for the team to transition from discussion to tasks and see the team's overall state.
System analytics for team health and ROTI are now available
QRetro now helps not only to run retrospectives but also to track team health dynamics and the usefulness of the meetings themselves.
The system now prepares retro summaries and recommended next steps
Added automatic summaries, recommended next steps, and a new analytical layer on top of team discussions.
