Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Create courses, sections and lessons, fill lessons with AI, and publish courses in Coursebox.
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.

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.
coursebox_get_course_structureRead the sections (blocks) of a course, each with its lessons (activities), in order. Use it to find section and lesson ids. API: GET /api/Blocks with a filter on courseId.
coursebox_create_courseWRITE. Create an empty draft course and return it with its id. The key's user becomes owner and admin. Counts toward the plan's course limit (over the limit the call fails with 403). API: POST /api/Courses/createCourse.
coursebox_update_courseWRITE. Change course details. Only the fields you send change. Editing a published course goes live at once. API: POST /api/Courses/updateAttributes.
coursebox_create_sectionWRITE. Add a section (module) to a course and return its id. Create sections in order: position 0, 1, 2. API: POST /api/Courses/{courseId}/blocks.
coursebox_rename_sectionWRITE. Rename a section (module). API: PATCH /api/Blocks/{sectionId}.
coursebox_delete_sectionDESTRUCTIVE. Delete a section and all of its lessons. This cannot be undone. API: DELETE /api/Blocks/{sectionId}.
coursebox_create_lessonWRITE. Add an empty lesson to the end of a section and return its id. Fill it afterwards with coursebox_edit_lesson_with_ai. API: POST /api/Blocks/createActivity.
coursebox_move_lessonWRITE. Move a lesson to a position inside its section (0 = first). API: POST /api/Blocks/{sectionId}/activity-position.
coursebox_delete_lessonDESTRUCTIVE. Delete a lesson with its content, quiz and assignment. This cannot be undone. API: POST /api/Activities/deleteActivity.
coursebox_edit_lesson_with_aiWRITE (AI, not idempotent). Fill or change ONE lesson from a plain-language instruction. Coursebox's own AI writes text, layouts, images, video, translations, quizzes and assignments, and saves them. Send one lesson per call and put any exact text or exact quiz questions in the m
coursebox_publish_courseWRITE. Publish a draft course. join_status "public" lets anyone on the portal join. "private" lets learners join only when enrolled or invited. Edits after publishing go live at once. Coursebox emails the course owner a confirmation. API: POST /api/Courses/publish.
coursebox_unpublish_courseWRITE. Return a published course to draft, so learners cannot see it. API: POST /api/Courses/unpublish.

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.

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 Coursebox credentials.

On first connect you provide your Coursebox portal name (myportal from myportal.coursebox.ai) and your Coursebox Open API key, found under Settings → Integrations → Open API. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
