A Model Context Protocol server
Software planning mcp mcp server connects Software Planning MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A Model Context Protocol server.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate software development planning through an interactive, structured approach. This tool helps break down complex software projects into manageable tasks, track implementation progress, and maintain detailed development plans.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 8 tools directly:
start_planning — Start a new planning session with a specific goal. typescript { goal: string // The software development goal to plan }add_todo — Add a new todo item to the current plan. typescript { title: string, // Title of the todo item description: string, // Detailed description complexity: numberget_todos — Retrieve all todos in the current plan. typescript // No parameters requiredupdate_todo_status — Update the completion status of a todo item. typescript { todoId: string, // ID of the todo item isComplete: boolean // New completion status }save_plan — Save the current implementation plan. typescript { plan: string // The implementation plan text }remove_todo — Remove a todo item from the current plan. typescript { todoId: string // ID of the todo item to remove }Building — The Building tool exposed by this serverTesting — Test all features using the MCP inspector: bash pnpm run inspectorThe server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Software Planning MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — start_planning, add_todo, get_todos among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| start_planning | Start a new planning session with a specific goal. typescript { goal: string // The software development goal to plan } |
| add_todo | Add a new todo item to the current plan. typescript { title: string, // Title of the todo item description: string, // Detailed description complexity: number, // Complexity score (0-10) codeExample?: string // Optional |
| get_todos | Retrieve all todos in the current plan. typescript // No parameters required |
| update_todo_status | Update the completion status of a todo item. typescript { todoId: string, // ID of the todo item isComplete: boolean // New completion status } |
| save_plan | Save the current implementation plan. typescript { plan: string // The implementation plan text } |
| remove_todo | Remove a todo item from the current plan. typescript { todoId: string // ID of the todo item to remove } |
| Building | The Building tool exposed by this server. |
| Testing | Test all features using the MCP inspector: bash pnpm run inspector |
