🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Add to your AI tool

Add to your MCP configuration (see client-specific setup below):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spec-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest", "/path/to/your/project"]
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Choose your interface

Option A: Web Dashboard (Required for CLI users) Start the dashboard (runs on port 5000 by default):

npx -y @pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest --dashboard

The dashboard will be accessible at: http://localhost:5000

Note: Only one dashboard instance is needed. All your projects will connect to the same dashboard.

Option B: VSCode Extension (Recommended for VSCode users)

Install Spec Workflow MCP Extension from the VSCode marketplace.
