Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Protect media from AI training, detect AI-generated content, and find stolen work.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 0 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.
You need to fill in: SDRM_API_KEY
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).

MCP server for the Sidearm API — protect media from AI training, detect AI-generated content, and search for stolen work.
This package exposes the Sidearm REST API as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools that AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.) can call directly.
Sign up at sdrm.io and create an API key at sdrm.io/api-keys.
Add to your MCP configuration file:
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "sdrm": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"], "env": { "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." } } } }
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "sdrm": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"], "env": { "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." } } } }
Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "sdrm": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sidearmdrm/mcp"], "env": { "SDRM_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." } } } }
That's it. Your agent can now call Sidearm tools.
