A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Specifai project integration and automation with any MCP-compatible AI tool. This server currently exposes tools to read all documents generated by the Specifai project.
README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Specifai project integration and automation with any MCP-compatible AI tool. This server is designed to be tool-agnostic, meaning it can be used with any tool that supports the MCP protocol. This server currently exposes tools to read all documents generated by the Specifai project.
[!WARNING] This server is currently experimental. The functionality and available tools are subject to change and expansion as we continue to develop and improve the server.

Installation
# Latest version
npx --yes @presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest
# Specific version
npx --yes @presidio-dev/[email protected]
We recommend npx to install the server, but you can use any node package manager of your preference such as yarn, pnpm, bun, etc.
Configuration
with npx with latest version:
{
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["--yes", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
with npx with specific version:
{
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["--yes", "@presidio-dev/[email protected]"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
Preparing your project
This is completely optional, but it's recommended to use it to avoid having to specify the project directory path every time you access the server. For AI IDE / Extension (Hai Build), it's recommended to use a
.specifai-pathfile to specify the project directory path.
Make sure your project root directory contains a .specifai-path file. It's how the Specifai MCP server knows where to find the specification documents generated by Specifai.
The file is a plain text file containing the absolute path to the project directory where the specification documents for a project are stored.
For example, if your project directory is located at /path/to/project, the .specifai-path file should contain the following line:
/path/to/project

Install in Hai Build
Add the following to your hai_mcp_settings.json file. To open this file from Hai Build, click the "MCP Servers" icon, select the "Installed" tab, and then click "Configure MCP Servers".
See the Hai Build MCP documentation for more info.
{
"mcpServers": {
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
Install in Amazon Q Developer
Add the following to your Amazon Q Developer configuration file. See MCP configuration for Q Developer in the IDE for more details.
The configuration file can be stored globally at ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json to be available across all your projects, or locally within your project at .amazonq/mcp.json.
{
"mcpServers": {
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
Install in VS Code (Copilot)
First, enable MCP support in VS Code by opening Settings (Ctrl+,), searching for mcp.enabled, and checking the box.
Then, add the following configuration to your user or workspace settings.json file. See the VS Code MCP documentation for more info.
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"specifai": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
Install in Cursor
The easiest way to install is with the one-click installation button below.
Alternatively, you can manually configure the server by adding the following to your mcp.json file. This file can be located globally at ~/.cursor/mcp.json or within a specific project at .cursor/mcp.json. See the Cursor MCP documentation for more information.
{
"mcpServers": {
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["--yes", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
Install in Windsurf
Add the following to your ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json file. See the Windsurf MCP documentation for more information.
{
"mcpServers": {
"specifai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
Install in Zed
You can add the Specifai MCP server in Zed by editing your settings.json file (accessible via the zed: settings action) or by using the Agent Panel's configuration UI (agent: open configuration). See the Zed MCP documentation for more information.
Add the following to your settings.json:
{
"context_servers": {
"specifai": {
"command": {
"path": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@presidio-dev/specifai-mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}
}
