What is the Server MCP Server?

MCP server that teaches any agent the AIDE methodology through tool descriptions and progressive disclosure tooling

What you get

MCP server that brings intent-driven development to any AI-powered IDE. Manage .aide spec files that live next to your code — the domain context that architects plan from, implementors build from, and QA validates against.

  • Project-wide spec discovery — with a progressive disclosure tree that surfaces intent, research, and QA specs at every level of your codebase
  • One-command project bootstrap — via aide_init — wires methodology docs, pipeline commands, and this MCP server into your project in a single guided flow
  • Automatic naming convention enforcement — — aide_scaffold handles the .aide / intent.aide rename rules so you never create conflicting specs
  • Health-check validation — via aide_validate — detects orphaned specs, missing descriptions, broken links, and naming conflicts before they cause drift
  • Code introspection — via aide_inspect — returns JSDoc, signatures, and kind for named symbols without opening files, giving agents Tier 2 progressive disclosure for code
  • Upgrade drift detection — via aide_upgrade — compares your project's AIDE methodology artifacts against canonical versions and writes updates per-category

ToolWhat it does
aide_discoverScan the project for .aide spec files and return a progressive disclosure tree map showing each spec's type, location, and summary.
aide_readRead an .aide spec file with full context, returning the file content, its classified type (intent/research/plan/todo), related specs in the same directory, and links found in the content.
aide_scaffoldCreate new .aide spec files with automatic naming convention enforcement. Handles the rename rules: intent specs are .aide by default but become intent.aide when research.aide exists in the same folder; creating a resear
aide_inspectReturn the JSDoc block, signature, and kind for a named function, method, class, interface, or type alias in the workspace — Tier 2 progressive disclosure for code. Agents can understand a symbol's contract without openi
aide_validateRun a health check on .aide spec files in the project. Detects orphaned specs, missing specs, naming conflicts (.aide and intent.aide in the same folder), broken links, orphaned research files, and missing frontmatter de
aide_infoBoot-time precondition reporter. Returns two independent fields the orchestrator branches on separately: outdated (an array of stale AIDE artifact keys, comparing the project's versions.json against the shipped manifest)
aide_brainOn-demand brain entry-point tool. Call this when you need to reach the brain mid-task — do NOT call it on every /aide boot. Boot-time brain precondition state is already reported by aide_info.brain.status; firing aide_br
aide_initBootstrap the AIDE development environment into a project using a guided one-at-a-time wizard. On the first call (no category), returns a summary of every step with status and detected framework. On subsequent calls (wit
aide_upgradeCompare the AIDE methodology artifacts in this project against canonical versions and return a structured diff grouped by category. On the first call (no category), returns a lightweight summary of every category with dr
