MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
PRD Generator MCP — generate, validate, and manage Product Requirement Documents.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

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.
| Generic PRD Tools | AINative PRD Generator |
|---|---|
| Generic templates | Templates with AINative architecture compliance checklists |
| No memory — PRDs lost on session close | ZeroDB persistence — PRDs saved with version history, searchable across sessions |
| No platform awareness | Knows all 22 AINative products, 1,968 API endpoints, 11+ SDKs |
| One-shot generation | Iterative refinement with section-level regeneration |
| No validation | 15 validation rules + API reference verification |
An AINative account is required for full functionality. The server uses ZeroDB (AINative's data platform) for:
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
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.
npx ainative-prd-mcp
On first run with no credentials, the server:
.mcp.json and .envZERODB_API_KEY=ak_your_key npx ainative-prd-mcp
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"] } } }
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
prd_generate | Generate a full PRD with AI + AINative platform context. Auto-detects relevant services, saves to ZeroDB. |
prd_generate_section | Regenerate a single section (e.g., just the Technical Architecture) without touching the rest. |
prd_refine | Refine an existing PRD based on feedback. Version history tracked automatically. |
prd_from_issue | Generate a PRD from a GitHub issue number. |
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
prd_list_templates | List built-in and custom templates. |
prd_get_template | Get a template with placeholder variables. |
prd_create_template | Create a custom template (persisted in ZeroDB across sessions). |
prd_render_template | Render a template with variable substitution (no AI, deterministic). |
Built-in templates:
standard — General-purpose PRD with all standard sectionsainative-feature — AINative feature PRD with architecture compliance checklist, TDD test plan, and service mappingagent-capability — Agent/MCP server PRD with tool schemas, memory strategy, and hosting plan| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
prd_validate | Validate against 15 quality rules + AINative architecture constraints. |
prd_score | Score completeness 0-100 with letter grade (A-F). |
prd_check_api_refs | Verify all API endpoint and service references actually exist in the platform. |
Validation rules include:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
prd_save | Save a PRD as a persistent plan artifact. Returns an ID for future retrieval. |
prd_load | Load a saved PRD by ID. Use at session start to resume where you left off. |
prd_search | Semantic search across all saved PRDs. Find by topic, not just keywords. |
prd_history | Get version history showing exactly how a PRD evolved over time (unified diffs). |
What makes this unique:
PRDs are stored as ZeroDB plan artifacts — a purpose-built storage format that:
prd_refine call generates a diff stored in version historyzerodb_plan_get)| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
prd_list_services | List all 22 AINative products with descriptions, API prefixes, SDKs, and pricing. |
prd_get_api_catalog | Get detailed API information for a specific service. |
prd_suggest_stack | Given requirements, suggest which AINative services to use with justifications. |
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
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
skill_list | List Agent Skills in the skills repo (pulled live from GitHub). |
skill_get | Get a skill's full SKILL.md body (optionally with all reference files). |
skill_get_reference | Get a single reference file for a skill, on demand. |
skill_search | Find the right skill for a task — ZeroDB semantic search, GitHub keyword fallback. |
skill_sync | Mirror skills from GitHub into ZeroDB for semantic search + offline use. |
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.
The server speaks MCP over two transports:
npx ainative-prd-mcp)$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" } } }
> Use prd_generate to create a PRD for adding webhook notifications to Agent Cloud
Result: Full PRD generated with:
> Use prd_search to find PRDs about billing
Result: 3 PRDs found:
> Use prd_validate on this PRD content
Result: Score 73/100 (C)
| Method | Config | Notes |
|---|---|---|
