Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Hosted MCP server for Anvil — fill & generate PDFs and run Etch e-signature packets for AI agents.
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 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
anvil_current_userGet the authenticated Anvil user (from the API key) and the organizations they belong to (eid, name, slug). Good first call to discover org slugs/eids for other tools. GraphQL query: currentUser.
anvil_get_organizationFetch an Anvil organization and its PDF templates (casts) and workflows (welds). Provide either its slug or its eid (at least one is required). GraphQL query: organization.
anvil_get_castFetch a cast — an Anvil PDF template — by its eid: title, version number, and whether it is a template. Use the returned eid as the cast_eid for anvil_fill_pdf. GraphQL query: cast.
anvil_get_etch_packetFetch an Etch e-signature packet by eid: its status, details URL, document group, and every signer (eid, aliasId, name, email, status, routing order). Use this to check signature progress. GraphQL query: etchPacket.
anvil_get_weldFetch a weld — an Anvil workflow — by eid, including its forges (the individual form steps: eid, name, slug). GraphQL query: weld.
anvil_get_weld_dataFetch a weldData record — a single submission to a weld (workflow) — by eid: completion state, test flag, and creation time. GraphQL query: weldData.
anvil_fill_pdfFill an Anvil PDF template (cast) with data and return the finished PDF as base64. REST: POST /fill/{castEid}.pdf. Returns { filename, byteLength, pdfBase64 }. The `data` object's keys are the template's field aliases.
anvil_generate_pdfGenerate a brand-new PDF from HTML or Markdown and return it as base64. REST: POST /generate-pdf. For type=html, pass data = { html, css? }. For type=markdown, pass data = [ { label, content }, ... ]. Returns { filename, byteLength, pdfBase64 }.
anvil_create_etch_packetCreate an Etch e-signature packet (documents + signers). GraphQL mutation: createEtchPacket. IMPORTANT: isDraft defaults to true (a safe draft that sends nothing). Setting isDraft=false with real signers SENDS signature-request emails to those signers. Use isTest=true while devel
anvil_generate_etch_sign_urlGenerate a one-time embedded signing URL for a specific signer in an Etch packet (for iframe/redirect signing flows). GraphQL mutation: generateEtchSignURL. Returns { url }.

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.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.
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.

Fill and generate PDFs and run Etch e-signature packets from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your Anvil API key.
Live endpoint: https://anvil.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/anvil
https://anvil.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http anvil https://anvil.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.{
"mcpServers": { "anvil": { "url": "https://anvil.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Anvil credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/anvil/
On first connect you'll paste your Anvil API key. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
