Ainative Prd MCP

AINative PRD Generator MCP Server

Generate production-ready Product Requirement Documents with full AINative platform awareness and persistent memory.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that helps AI agents and developers create, validate, and manage PRDs. Unlike generic PRD tools, this server knows every AINative service, API endpoint, SDK, and architectural constraint — so your PRDs reference real platform capabilities from day one.

Why This MCP?

Requirements

An AINative account is required for full functionality. The server uses ZeroDB (AINative's data platform) for:

• Persistent PRD storage with automatic version tracking
• Semantic search across all your saved PRDs
• AI-powered PRD generation via AINative's chat completions API
• Custom template storage

No account yet? The server auto-provisions a free ZeroDB instance on first run. You'll get a claim URL to take ownership of your data.

Get a permanent account:

npx zerodb-cli init          # Interactive setup

or sign up at https://ainative.studio

Without credentials, the server still works in template-only mode — template rendering, validation, platform discovery, and scoring all function without an account. Only AI generation and memory/persistence features require authentication.

Quick Start

Option 1: npx (recommended)

npx ainative-prd-mcp

On first run with no credentials, the server:

1. Provisions a free ZeroDB instance (~800ms)
2. Saves credentials to .mcp.json and .env
3. Prints a claim URL — visit it to take permanent ownership

Option 2: With existing API key

ZERODB_API_KEY=ak_your_key npx ainative-prd-mcp

MCP Configuration

Add to your Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf MCP config:

{

"mcpServers": { "prd-generator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ainative-prd-mcp"], "env": { "ZERODB_API_KEY": "ak_your_key", "ZERODB_API_URL": "https://api.ainative.studio" } } } }

No API key? Omit the env block — the server auto-provisions:

{

"mcpServers": { "prd-generator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ainative-prd-mcp"] } } }

Tools (23)

Generation (4 tools)

Templates (4 tools)

Built-in templates:

• standard — General-purpose PRD with all standard sections
• ainative-feature — AINative feature PRD with architecture compliance checklist, TDD test plan, and service mapping
• agent-capability — Agent/MCP server PRD with tool schemas, memory strategy, and hosting plan

Validation (3 tools)

Validation rules include:

• Structure checks (title, intro, features, acceptance criteria, timeline)
• Content checks (problem statement, user stories, test plan, security)
• AINative-specific checks (correct API paths, ZeroDB usage, no third-party memory services)

Memory — ZeroDB-Powered (4 tools)

What makes this unique:

PRDs are stored as ZeroDB plan artifacts — a purpose-built storage format that:

• Survives across sessions — close your editor, come back tomorrow, your PRDs are still there
• Tracks every change — every prd_refine call generates a diff stored in version history
• Supports semantic search — find PRDs by meaning ("billing features", "agent deployment") not just title
• Cross-tool access — PRDs saved here are also accessible via the ZeroMemory MCP tools (zerodb_plan_get)

Platform Discovery (3 tools)

Known AINative services: ZeroDB, ZeroMemory, Agent Cloud, AI Kit, Cody CLI, Chat Completions API, Live Streaming, Multimodal Generation, Embeddings API, Echo Developer Program, OpenCap Stack, ZeroInvoice, ZeroCommerce, ZeroPipeline, Browser Agent, Content Workflow, AX Audit, Community Platform, MCP Hosting, Sequential Thinking, Agent402, QNN API

Skills — GitHub-backed, ZeroDB-cached (5 tools)

Skills are also exposed as MCP prompts: every skill in the repo shows up as a selectable prompt (name = its slug), with an optional input argument for the task to apply it to.

Source of truth is the GitHub repo (SKILLS_REPO, default the8genc/ai-8gent-skills) laid out as skills/ /SKILL.md + skills/ /references/*.md. ZeroDB is a cache and semantic-search layer — author skills in GitHub, then skill_sync to refresh the mirror. skill_list / skill_get work without any credentials; skill_search (semantic) and skill_sync use ZeroDB.

Transports & Hosting

The server speaks MCP over two transports:

• stdio — default for local use (npx ainative-prd-mcp)
• Streamable HTTP — auto-selected when $PORT is set (Railway), or forced with MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Serves POST /mcp plus a GET / health check.

Hosted at https://ainative-prd-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp:

{

"mcpServers": { "prd-generator": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ainative-prd-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp" } } }

Examples

Generate a PRD for a new feature

> Use prd_generate to create a PRD for adding webhook notifications to Agent Cloud

Result: Full PRD generated with:

• Correct API paths (/api/v1/agents/webhooks/*)
• ZeroDB for event storage
• Architecture compliance checklist
• TDD test plan with pytest commands
• Saved to ZeroDB with ID for future sessions

Search past PRDs

> Use prd_search to find PRDs about billing

Result: 3 PRDs found:

• "PRD: Developer Earnings Dashboard" (similarity: 0.89)
• "PRD: Credit System Overhaul" (similarity: 0.82)
• "PRD: Invoice Generation" (similarity: 0.78)

Validate a PRD

> Use prd_validate on this PRD content

Result: Score 73/100 (C)

• Missing: acceptance criteria
• Missing: test plan
• Warning: References "Firebase" — should use ZeroDB instead
• 12/15 rules passed
