Software Planning Tool

Software Planning Tool 🚀

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate software development planning through an interactive, structured approach. This tool helps break down complex software projects into manageable tasks, track implementation progress, and maintain detailed development plans.

Features ✨

Interactive Planning Sessions: Start and manage development planning sessions
Todo Management: Create, update, and track development tasks
Complexity Scoring: Assign complexity scores to tasks for better estimation
Code Examples: Include relevant code snippets in task descriptions
Implementation Plans: Save and manage detailed implementation plans

Example Usage 📝

Here's a complete example of using the software planning tool:

Start a planning session:

await client.callTool("software-planning-tool", "start_planning", {
  goal: "Create a React-based dashboard application"
});

Add a todo item:

const todo = await client.callTool("software-planning-tool", "add_todo", {
  title: "Set up project structure",
  description: "Initialize React project with necessary dependencies",
  complexity: 3,
  codeExample: `
npx create-react-app dashboard
cd dashboard
npm install @material-ui/core @material-ui/icons
  `
});

Update todo status:

await client.callTool("software-planning-tool", "update_todo_status", {
  todoId: todo.id,
  isComplete: true
});

Save the implementation plan:

await client.callTool("software-planning-tool", "save_plan", {
  plan: `
# Dashboard Implementation Plan

## Phase 1: Setup (Complexity: 3)
- Initialize React project
- Install dependencies
- Set up routing

## Phase 2: Core Features (Complexity: 5)
- Implement authentication
- Create dashboard layout
- Add data visualization components
  `
});
