Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Deterministic intent preflight before your agent builds: six gates, keyless, no model call.
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.

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.
You need to fill in: PATHMODE_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).

Find the product decisions a request leaves open, before your coding agent builds. A deterministic preflight: six calibrated checks, keyless, no model call.
This repository dogfoods the same workflow: read its intent.md.
This repository is the issue tracker for the package, not its source. The server is developed in Pathmode's private monorepo and published to npm from there. This repo previously held a hand-copied snapshot of the source, which drifted several versions behind the published package. It no longer carries that copy, so there is nothing here to read out of date.
To read the code, unpack the published tarball:
npm pack @pathmode/mcp-server && tar -xzf pathmode-mcp-server-*.tgz
Add to .mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": { "pathmode": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@pathmode/mcp-server"] } } }
No account and no API key. Specs live in intent.md in your repo, as plain markdown you own. Set PATHMODE_API_KEY to sync intent and evidence across a team.
Given one instruction, implement FN-412, in Fieldnote (a fictional billing app whose ticket asks for a Cancel plan button), an agent with this server wrote no product code. It found that the only cancel code in the repository was written for refunds and would take paid days away from every customer who cancels, drafted an intent.md with four open product choices, and stopped: preflight passed 6/6, still blocked by those choices. The recorded run lists every tool call, and npx -y @pathmode/cli preflight on that branch reproduces the verdict.
intent.md files this server writescheck_intent_readiness scores againstBug reports and feature requests belong in Issues. Include the output of npx @pathmode/mcp-server --version and the client you are running.
