What is the GenSpec MCP Server?

MCP server for GenSpec workflow - converts USER-STORIES.md into README, ROADMAP, and SYSTEM-ARCHITECTURE documents

What it actually does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts user stories into structured documentation including README, ROADMAP, and SYSTEM-ARCHITECTURE documents through a guided approval workflow.

GenSpec MCP Server streamlines the documentation creation process by taking user stories as input and generating three key documentation artifacts:

  • MCP Integration — - Works seamlessly with Claude Desktop, VS Code with MCP extension, and Cursor
  • Template-Based Generation — - Uses predefined templates for consistent documentation structure
  • Approval Workflow — - Generate → Present → Approve/Edit cycle for each document
  • Phase Dependencies — - ROADMAP requires README, SYSTEM-ARCHITECTURE requires both
  • Multiple Entry Points — - Start from any phase or run the complete workflow
  • Resource Access — - Exposes templates via MCP resource protocol

Configuration

  • Node.js 18.0.0 or higher - npm or yarn package manager
