1In short
Morion is a notebook and board that any agent, Cline included, reads over MCP. Mo indexes the notes and answers with the source and a status; tickets come with a work packet; Auto-code runs a workflow of agents with a human gate.
Cline is an open-source coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, the terminal and, since September, a desktop app, on the model you choose, free for individuals with paid Enterprise and ClinePass plans. Its memory bank is Markdown files the agent keeps, and Cline Kanban runs one agent per card on a board for one repository.
2Memory bank and Mo
Cline’s own docs describe the memory bank as a practice, not a built-in feature: six Markdown files (project brief, product context, active context, system patterns, tech context, progress) that the agent reads at the start and updates when asked. It is simple, and it works as long as someone keeps the files current.
Morion’s memory is the notebook itself. You and your agents write notes and tickets; Mo indexes them into projects and topics, finds what a question needs across thousands of notes, and answers with the note each claim came from and whether it is decided, provisional or superseded. When two notes disagree, the answer says so. Any agent reads it, not only Cline.
Yes, mostly. Reminders are scheduled locally and mirrored to the server queue on sync Reminder architecture decided. Push delivery is out of scope until v2 Reminder architecture decided.
Whether queued deletes replay in order is still open Queue writes while offline · comments provisional.
Conflict: the March spec says reminders are server-first Sync protocol v1 superseded; the decision note overrides it.
Gap: nothing in the notes covers reminder time zones. Want me to open a ticket for it?
3Cline Kanban and Morion’s board
Cline Kanban is an execution board: a card is an agent run in a worktree, on one repository, and the board is the way you watch runs. It is a research preview, and open issues report history lost after a restart.
Morion’s board is a work queue next to the notes. A ticket is a note with a status; any MCP agent claims it, from its own terminal or through Auto-code; claims never collide; a ticket that fails review goes back to the implementing agent with the review, and a failed run lands in Re-opened with the reason. Any folder can be a board, next to the notes it relates to, and folder permissions decide what every agent can see and change.

has it, has part of it, — does not. As of September 2026. Morion’s board runs agents through Auto-code, each ticket in its own worktree. Cline’s memory bank is Markdown files the agent maintains on request. Cline Kanban runs agents from several vendors and chains cards, without a review stage by another vendor or a gate that asks you. Cline is free for individuals; Enterprise and the ClinePass model plan are paid. Morion’s plans are on the pricing page. For Morion, 2.0 has a Free plan and is not open source; the earlier 1.5 line, Morion Community, is open source and free but frozen.
5Cline with Morion
Cline is an MCP client; one click in Settings → Integrations → Apps and Agents connects it. Keep Cline as your agent, and let Morion take over the two jobs the memory bank and the board do by hand:
- Instead of six files to keep current, a notebook Mo indexes on its own, which Claude Code and Codex read too.
- Instead of a board of runs, tickets that sit next to the project’s notes with the context attached, claimed by Cline or by any other agent.
- A review from another vendor. Auto-code can have one agent write and another review, ask you in chat when a step needs you, and leave the merge to you.
If you already keep a memory bank, import the six files as notes (.md import); Mo folds them into topics. Walk-through: From CLAUDE.md to a memory that cites.
6Questions
A documentation method, not a built-in feature: six Markdown files described in Cline Rules, which the agent reads at the start of a task and updates when you ask it to.
A board, launched in March 2026 as a research preview, where each card runs Cline, Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode in its own git worktree, with diff review and linked cards that start in sequence.
Yes, in the Cline SDK, CLI and Kanban: a coordinator hands work to specialists through a shared task board file and a mailbox. The teammates run on Cline’s own runtime; the docs do not list Claude Code or Codex as teammates.
Yes. Cline is an MCP client, so it can read Morion notes, claim tickets and write back, like Claude Code and Codex.
Morion has a Free plan with notes, the board and a monthly allowance of MCP calls; Pro adds Auto-code and Mo Assistant. Cline is open source and free for individuals; you pay for the models, and Enterprise and ClinePass are paid plans.
