Facilitates software development planning through an interactive and structured approach.
If you already use Software Planning Tool, the software planning tool mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Facilitates software development planning through an interactive and structured approach.
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.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
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 descriptionget_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 inspectorInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Software Planning Tool's toolset — start_planning, add_todo, get_todos and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by NightTrek; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
