### Description (declared)

# Spec-Driven MCP Server 
 
Your living source-of-truth for product & engineering specs — built for **VS Code + AI agents**. 
 
**Markdown specs → SQLite → dashboard → MCP tools.** 
 
--- 
 
## Why use this? 
 
* Centralize **requirements**, **acceptance criteria**, and **non-functional** specs in one place. 
* Track verification with **pass/fail events**; roll-ups show what's **VERIFIED / FAILING / PARTIAL / UNTESTED**. 
* Give AI agents safe MCP access to **read, search, edit, and record verification**. 
* **Auto-launching dashboard** provides instant web UI access from VS Code. 
* Lightweight **HTML dashboard** (Tailwind + htmx/Alpine) for quick browsing and edits.

## Quick start 
 
### 1) Install the tool 
 
We recommend **pipx** so the CLI is on your PATH without virtualenv chores: 
 
```bash 
pipx install spec-driven-mcp 
``` 
 
Or with pip: 
```bash 
pip install spec-driven-mcp 
``` 
 
### 2) Add this to `.vscode/mcp.json`: 
 
```jsonc 
{ 
  "servers": { 
    "specs-mcp": { 
      "type": "stdio", 
      "command": "spec-mcp-stdio" 
    } 
  } 
} 
``` 
 
**Custom Database Location:** To use a specific database file: 
```jsonc 
{ 
  "servers": { 
    "specs-mcp": { 
      "type": "stdio", 
      "command": "spec-mcp-stdio", 
      "args": ["--db-path", "/path/to/your/specs.db"] 
    } 
  } 
} 
``` 
 
Open Copilot Chat → Agent mode, start the server from **MCP Servers** and use the tools/resources. 
 
**🚀 Dashboard Auto-Start:** The MCP server automatically starts the web dashboard in the background at **http://localhost:8765** when launched from VS Code. No separate dashboard command needed!

## Defaults that "just work" 
 
* **Database location:** Uses intelligent directory detection with robust fallbacks: 
  1. **Project-local**: `<current-directory>/.spec-mcp/specs.db` when running from a project directory 
  2. **User data directory**: Platform-specific fallback ensures consistency across invocations 
  3. **Custom path**: Override wit…
