Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Guide developers from setup through a verified, policy-aware, audited Alter API call.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
list_phasesList the lifecycle phases this server serves (setup, modify) and what each is for.
list_skillsList the guidance Skills available on this server, with the phase each serves. Read a skill via its resource (skill://alter/ ).
get_startedBegin or change an Alter integration. Without args: lists the phases. With `phase`: returns that phase's flows + a heuristic hint — classify the use case YOURSELF and call again with `goal` for the plan. If the use case spans multiple flows, run them sequentially.
next_stepReturn the next step for a flow. Pass the goal (flow id) and the id of the last completed step (omit `after` for the first step). Run each step's detect command FIRST and skip the run command when detection passes. The design step also returns that flow's complete starter ALTER_I
sdk_integrationReturn the Alter SDK wiring (install + client init + request) to write into the developer's codebase, for a language and setup goal.
sdk_patternReturn a runnable Alter SDK call pattern for a language: `proxy-call` (zero-egress proxy_request + HITL), `resolve-grant-by-user` (call as an end user via their delegated grant), `delegate-managed-secret` (the operator-side delegation step), or `resolve-ambiguous-grant` (an ident
troubleshootMap a @alter-ai/cli exit code or error message to a remediation.
verify_integrationReturn a copy-pasteable recipe to VERIFY an integration works: `first-call` (code↔design, an audit row, correct attribution) or `per-user-isolation` (a multi-user/broker server runs two users under different credentials and rejects cross-user access). Guidance only — you run the
fetch_docFetch Alter documentation by slug (e.g. "quickstart"). Guides, indexes and skills are served in-band; generated provider operation and model pages link to the full public reference. Accepts any spelling the docs use: a bare slug, a leading slash, a #section anchor, a full docs.al
search_docsSearch every bundled page of the Alter documentation (docs and skill pages) by keywords: returns the best-matching pages with the section and a snippet that matched. Use it when a flow step or doc did not point you at the page you need, instead of guessing slugs or listing every
list_providersList every provider with an ingested API spec in Alter's provider-spec catalog, with each spec's source and freshness. Optionally filter by `kind`. Start here, then call list_operations for a provider's operations.
list_operationsList the API operations a provider exposes, live from Alter's provider-spec catalog (e.g. "what can I call on google?"). Returns operation ids + methods/paths, plus the spec's source and freshness. Omit `kind` to auto-detect the provider family; when the id exists in both oauth a
get_operation_schemaFetch one provider API operation's full contract — method, path, parameters, request/response schemas — live from Alter's provider-spec catalog, plus the spec's source and freshness. Get operation ids from list_operations first.
policy_languageThe authoritative grammar of Alter's runtime-policy language, live from the deployed backend: every authorable rule type with its JSON body schema, caps, authorable levels, worked examples, and fail-closed semantics. Call with no arguments for the overview; pass `rule_type` (e.g.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 3 of 3 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
