What QRetro is

QRetro is a free web-based tool for continuous workflow improvement. It helps teams assess their health, share findings, and turn retrospective discussions into action plans. Its retrospective flow has seven stages: health check, icebreaker, comments, grouping, voting, discussion, and results. Teams can choose from more than 100 customizable templates, and the service prepares a summary with recommended next steps. QRetro assesses team health across six parameters; ROTI metrics and historical trends are available through its MCP tools. Planning poker offers Fibonacci, T-shirt, and custom decks, with votes hidden until cards are revealed. Participants can join a board through a shared link without making an account. Jira, Linear, Telegram, and Slack integrations cover work items, notifications, and retrospective reports. Its MCP server lets compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code query retrospective data and perform scoped actions. MCP tokens default to read scope, are limited to their creator, and can be revoked in Settings. Four icebreaker games can run in a game room or during a retrospective; a game room holds up to 12 players. The Free plan has no team limit, board quota, or per-seat fee and includes planning poker.
