Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Full-CRUD server for AEP, Journey Optimizer and CJA. 61 tools from one OAuth credential.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

61 tools across 14 categories. Full read AND write. Self-hosted, Apache-2.0, no invitation required. Experience Platform, Journey Optimizer and Customer Journey Analytics — from one OAuth credential.
Ingest a batch → compose a schema → activate an audience → honour an erasure. Every mutation gated by a fail-closed write guard that asks Adobe what kind of sandbox it's in.

Then just ask your agent:
*"Create a schema with the Demographic Details field group, then a dataset on it."*
*"Ingest this NDJSON file and tell me when the batch lands."*
*"Build an audience of customers who bought twice this quarter and activate it."*
*"Delete every record for this email address — dry run first."*
Writes are off until you ask for them, and safe mode only unlocks sandboxes Adobe classifies as development.

Adobe's first-party gateway can *tell you* what's in your Experience Platform tenant. It cannot create a dataset, land a batch, activate an audience, or submit an erasure. This does — and does it behind a guard that fails closed.

The agent calls tools; the server talks to live Adobe APIs over OAuth Server-to-Server. The write guard sits in the HTTP client, not in each tool, so all 61 inherit it and none can forget it. Blocked calls never reach Adobe.
Three postures. Reads are never restricted in any mode.
AEP_MODE | Writes permitted | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
read-only | Never, in any sandbox | Handing the server to someone to explore an environment you don't want touched |
| `safe` *(default)* | Only where Adobe classifies the sandbox development | Evaluating, or letting an agent work without risking production |
production | Anywhere, including production | You run your own change control and don't want the server second-guessing you |
How `safe` decides — and why it's not the sandbox name.
A production sandbox can be called anything, and a sandbox called
prodmight not be production. Only Adobe'stypefield from the Sandbox Management API decides.
It fails closed. If the type can't be determined — the credential can't read sandbox metadata, the API errors, startup hasn't finished — writes are blocked. A credential must not earn write access by being *less* capable. An unrecognised
AEP_MODEfalls back tosafe, so a typo can never grant production writes.
A sandbox literally named `prod` is refused unconditionally, before mode resolution — so
AEP_MODE=productiondoes not lift it. Override withAEP_I_UNDERSTAND_THIS_WRITES_TO_PROD=trueonly if that really is your sandbox's name. The inference is deliberately asymmetric: trusting a name to *allow* a write is unsafe, trusting one to *deny* a write is safe, because the worst case is a refusal you can override on purpose.
Mutations are off entirely unless
AEP_ALLOW_MUTATIONS=true. That is separate fromAEP_MODEon purpose: choosing a write mode should not also mean "yes, you may change my data".
Startup always states the active posture:
SAFE MODE — sandbox is a development sandbox, so writes are ENABLED.
SAFE MODE — sandbox is PRODUCTION, so writes are BLOCKED. Reads work normally. SAFE MODE — sandbox type could not be confirmed, so writes are BLOCKED (fail-closed). READ-ONLY MODE — no write, update, or delete will be performed in any sandbox. PRODUCTION MODE — writes permitted against ANY sandbox, including production.
Writes are not *uniformly* gated — uniform gating makes an agent useless. Gates sit where an action is irreversible and wide-reaching, and every one is checked before any network call:
| Tool | Gate |
|---|---|
aep_create_record_delete | dryRun defaults true. Real submission needs confirm: "DELETE RECORDS " — bound to the dataset and a SHA-256 digest of the exact identity set, so a confirmation can't be reused for a different deletion. ALL and multi-dataset targets are refused. |
aep_delete_segment | confirm: "DELETE SEGMENT " — segments were create-only until 0.9.1, so every one an agent made was permanent |
aep_delete_dataset | confirm: "DELETE DATASET ", escalating to "DELETE PROFILE-ENABLED DATASET " when the dataset feeds Profile |
aep_complete_batch | confirm: "COMPLETE BATCH " — the point of no return for ingestion |
aep_revert_batch | confirm: "REVERT BATCH " |
aep_create_dataset_expiration | confirm: "CREATE DATASET EXPIRATION " — unless dryRun: true |
aep_update_dataset_expiration | confirm: "UPDATE DATASET EXPIRATION " |
aep_cancel_dataset_expiration | confirm: "CANCEL DATASET EXPIRATION " |
aep_delete_profile | confirm: "I understand this is irreversible" *(deprecated — prefer Data Hygiene)* |
Confirmations name their target. A phrase carrying the dataset id — and for record delete, a hash of the identities too — cannot be copied from one call to another. A generic "I understand this is irreversible" approves *any* deletion once you've typed it once.
Identity values never leave the process.
aep_create_record_deletereturns a count, the namespace names, and a digest — never the email addresses or device IDs you passed it. A record-delete request is by nature a list of real people; a tool that echoes them copies them into every transcript and log sink it touches.
Batch creation and file upload are ungated on purpose: those writes are additive and recoverable. An unwanted batch can be left uncompleted, and data that did land can be removed with the Data Hygiene tools.
Every tool ships MCP annotations — readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint — derived from the same metadata that builds its description, so the two cannot drift.
| Count | |
|---|---|
readOnlyHint: true | 39 |
destructiveHint: true | 8 |
| Un-annotated | 0 |
These are hints *for the client*, not enforcement — the guards above enforce. Their value is that a client like Claude Desktop uses destructiveHint to decide when to interrupt and ask a human. Without them aep_delete_profile looks identical to aep_list_schemas. A test asserts the destructive list exactly, so a ninth is a deliberate act rather than an oversight.

What's actually been run against a live tenant is recorded per tool in docs/VALIDATION-MATRIX.md — including the surfaces that are documented-and-mocked but deliberately never executed, and why.
AJO is a separate Adobe product, licensed separately — hence the ajo_ prefix, so an entitlement failure reads as one.
Campaigns
ajo_list_campaignsajo_get_campaignCampaigns is the only AJO surface reachable on our tenant. Journeys, messages, channel surfaces, content templates, fragments, offers and decisions all return an HTML 404 — the gateway has no such route — so they are deliberately not implemented.
Writes are absent on purpose. The routes exist, but shipping an unva
