OUR ASSESSMENT
- 4,170 GitHub stars.
- 5 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Spec-first workflow imposes discipline.
- Task breakdown helps agents stay scoped.
- Markdown export integrates with existing review processes.
- GPL-3.0 restricts redistribution; derivative MCPs must publish source under GPL.
- Score docked from 4.4 to 4.0 for GPL clause.
- Spec-first workflow adds overhead for trivial changes.
No authentication. Operates locally on project directory; treat spec files as project documentation. GPL-3.0: derivative MCPs that fork or extend this code must release source under GPL.
Teams adopting spec-driven development with AI coding agents; PRDs-first orgs where requirements should precede every PR; eng leads who want the agent to write requirements first and code second.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
