Spec Driven Development

Overview

Spec Driven Development is an MCP server that enables spec-driven development workflows, moving beyond ad-hoc coding practices. It integrates directly with AI assistants as a set of tools, allowing models to invoke its functionality on your behalf to support structured, specification-based development processes.

The server runs locally via the npm package mcp-server-spec-driven-development, communicating over stdio without requiring any credentials or external authentication. Version v0.1.1 is available under the MIT license, with full source code at formulahendry/mcp-server-spec-driven-development on GitHub, where the project has gained 437 stars.

Spec Driven Development is listed in the Development category and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
