# OpenSpec MCP

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/openspec-mcp)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/openspec-mcp)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [OpenSpec](https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec) - spec-driven development with real-time dashboard and approval workflow.

## Features

- **MCP Tools**: Full OpenSpec CLI functionality exposed as MCP tools
- **Review System**: Add, reply, resolve review comments on proposals/designs
- **Task Tracking**: Parse tasks.md and track progress in real-time
- **Approval Workflow**: Request, approve, and reject change proposals
- **Cross-Service Docs**: View cross-service design documents from single service projects
- **Web Dashboard**: Visual management interface with real-time updates and Markdown rendering

## Quick Start

### 1. Add to your MCP configuration

**Claude Code CLI (recommended - uses current directory):**

```bash
claude mcp add openspec -- npx openspec-mcp
```

**Claude Code CLI with Dashboard:**

```bash
claude mcp add openspec -- npx openspec-mcp --with-dashboard
```

**Claude Code CLI with specific project path:**

```bash
claude mcp add openspec -- npx openspec-mcp /path/to/your/project
```

**Claude Desktop / Cursor / Other:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openspec": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "openspec-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

**With Dashboard:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openspec": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "openspec-mcp", "--with-dashboard"]
    }
  }
}
```

### 2. Use in conversation

```
# List all changes
"List all openspec changes"

# Show change details
"Show me the add-user-auth change"

# Update task status
"Mark task 1.1 as done in add-user-auth"

# Request approval
"Request approval for add-user-auth from @reviewer"
```

## Cross-Service Documentation

For multi-service projects sharing a common `.cross-service/` directory (e.g., in a Git worktree), configure your `proposal.md` frontmatter:

```yaml
---
crossService:
  rootPath: "../../../../.cross-service" # Relative to change directory
  documents:
    - design.md
    - flows.md
    - services.yaml
  archivePolicy: snapshot # 'snapshot' (default) or 'reference'
---
# Your proposal content...
```

The Dashboard will display a "Cross-Service" tab with:

- **design.md / flows.md**: Rendered as Markdown
- **services.yaml**: Visual card view with service status, changes, and deployment order

## Approval Workflow

```
draft -> pending_approval -> approved -> implementing -> completed -> archived
                         -> rejected -> draft (revise and resubmit)
```

Approval records are stored in `openspec/approvals/<change-id>.json`.

## CLI Options

```bash
openspec-mcp [path] [options]

Arguments:
  path                    Project directory path (default: current directory)

Options:
  --dashboard             Start web dashboard only (HTTP mode)
  --with-dashboard        Start MCP server with web dashboard
  -p, --port <number>     Dashboard port (default: 3000; auto-increments if busy, 0 for random)
  -V, --version           Output version number
  -h, --help              Display help
```

### Examples

```bash
# MCP server only (uses current directory)
openspec-mcp

# MCP server with specific project
openspec-mcp /path/to/project

# Dashboard only
openspec-mcp --dashboard

# MCP server + Dashboard
openspec-mcp --with-dashboard

# Dashboard on custom port
openspec-mcp --dashboard --port 8080
```

## Web Dashboard

The dashboard provides a visual interface for managing changes, tracking tasks, and handling approvals.
