Setting Project Path

Once the server is running, you can set the project path using the set-project-path tool. This tool accepts a path to the directory containing your specification files. After setting the path, the server will load all documents from that directory.

Example tool usage:

{
  "name": "set-project-path",
  "arguments": {
    "path": "./path/to/project"
  }
}

Available Tools

The server provides several tools for interacting with your specification documents:

Tool Name	Description
set-project-path	Set or change the project directory path
get-brds	Get Business Requirement Documents
get-prds	Get Product Requirement Documents
get-nfrs	Get Non-Functional Requirements
get-uirs	Get User Interface Requirements
get-bps	Get Business Process Documents
get-user-stories	Get User Stories for a specific PRD
get-tasks	Get Tasks for a specific User Story
get-task	Get details of a specific Task

Requirements

For binary installation:

• curl (Unix) or PowerShell (Windows)
• sudo access (Unix, for system-wide installation)

For package manager installation:

• Node.js >= 16.0.0
• Bun >= 1.0.0 (if using Bun runtime)
