Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Inspect AI projects, traces, tests, and governance rules in Openlayer, and debug failing evals.
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.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.16.1) reached the registry 17 days ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

Agent Skills that teach AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) how to integrate apps with Openlayer — the AI evaluation and observability platform.
Coding agents produce significantly better results with the skill installed, because they are conditioned to follow Openlayer's current best practices instead of guessing from memory (outdated SDK calls, wrong env vars, invented test configs).
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| openlayer | Main skill. Instrument code with tracing (monitoring), set up offline openlayer.json + tests.json evals (development), create tests/guardrails, gate CI/CD, run the MCP fix-loop, and access data and docs. |
claude plugin marketplace add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills
claude plugin install openlayer@openlayer
/add-plugin openlayer
GitHub Copilot reads .github/plugin/plugin.json and the same skills and .mcp.json as Claude Code.
In VS Code, add the marketplace to your settings.json, then install Openlayer from the Extensions view (search @agentPlugins):
{
"chat.plugins.marketplaces": ["openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills"] }
In the Copilot CLI:
copilot plugin marketplace add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills
copilot plugin install openlayer@openlayer
Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, opencode, and dozens more install through the skills CLI:
npx skills add openlayer-ai/openlayer-skills --skill "openlayer"
For claude.ai, Copilot's cloud coding agent and code review, a manual symlink, or anything else, see the installation guide — it is the source of truth and stays current as these tools change.
An Openlayer account and an API key:
export OPENLAYER_API_KEY=...
export OPENLAYER_BASE_URL=https://api.openlayer.com/v1
Find your API key in the Openlayer app under Workspace settings → API keys (see https://docs.openlayer.com/workspace-and-projects/find-your-api-key).
Once installed, the agent uses the skill automatically when relevant — for example:
openlayer.json + tests.json) and pushing commitsThe plugin also connects your agent to the hosted Openlayer MCP server at https://mcp.openlayer.com/mcp (US accounts on app.openlayer.com; this is the .mcp.json default). The first time a tool is used, you sign in to Openlayer with OAuth and pick a workspace. The agent can then read projects, data sources, traces, tests, results, and governance rules in that workspace, and create or update them when you ask. Write and delete tools ask for confirmation.
EU accounts (eu.openlayer.com) must use https://mcp-eu.openlayer.com/mcp. Each hosted MCP server only accepts tokens from its own region's API, so an EU account pointed at the US server fails OAuth. Outside the regional cloud hosts the default stays https://mcp.openlayer.com/mcp.
Tool calls go only to Openlayer's API. Nothing is sent anywhere else. See the privacy policy. Self hosted deployments should point the server at their own URL, as the MCP docs describe.
