API Reference

The PRD Creator MCP Server provides the following tools:

`generate_prd`

Generate a complete PRD document using AI or template-based generation.

Parameters:

productName: The name of the product
productDescription: Description of the product
targetAudience: Description of the target audience
coreFeatures: Array of core feature descriptions
constraints (optional): Array of constraints or limitations
templateName (optional): Template name to use (defaults to "standard")
providerId (optional): Specific AI provider to use (openai, anthropic, gemini, local, template)
additionalContext (optional): Additional context or instructions for the AI provider
providerOptions (optional): Provider-specific options like temperature, maxTokens, etc.

Example:

{
  "productName": "TaskMaster Pro",
  "productDescription": "A task management application that helps users organize and prioritize their work efficiently.",
  "targetAudience": "Busy professionals and teams who need to manage multiple projects and deadlines.",
  "coreFeatures": [
    "Task creation and management",
    "Priority setting",
    "Due date tracking",
    "Team collaboration"
  ],
  "constraints": [
    "Must work offline",
    "Must support mobile and desktop platforms"
  ],
  "templateName": "comprehensive",
  "providerId": "openai",
  "additionalContext": "Focus on enterprise features and security",
  "providerOptions": {
    "temperature": 0.5,
    "maxTokens": 4000
  }
}

`validate_prd`

Validate a PRD document against best practices.

Parameters:

prdContent: The PRD content to validate
validationRules (optional): Array of validation rule IDs to check

Example:

{
  "prdContent": "# My Product\n\n## Introduction\n...",
  "validationRules": ["has-introduction", "minimum-length"]
}

`list_validation_rules`

List all available validation rules.

`list_ai_providers`

List all available AI providers and their availability status.

Example response:

[
  {
    "id": "openai",
    "name": "OpenAI",
    "available": true
  },
  {
    "id": "anthropic",
    "name": "Anthropic Claude",
    "available": false
  },
  {
    "id": "gemini",
    "name": "Google Gemini",
    "available": false
  },
  {
    "id": "local",
    "name": "Local Model",
    "available": false
  },
  {
    "id": "template",
    "name": "Template-based (No AI)",
    "available": true
  }
]

Template Management

The server provides additional tools for template management:

create_template: Create a new PRD template
list_templates: List all available templates
get_template: Get a specific template
update_template: Update an existing template
delete_template: Delete a template
export_templates: Export templates to JSON
import_templates: Import templates from JSON
render_template: Render a template with placeholders

System Management

get_provider_config: Get current provider configuration
update_provider_config: Update provider configuration
health_check: Check system health and provider availability
get_logs: Get recent system logs
stats: Get usage statistics

Provider Configuration & Hot Reload

Configuring AI Providers

You can configure provider credentials and models in two ways:

.env file: Place a .env file in your project or working directory. Use .env.example as a template. All standard AI provider variables (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_MODEL, etc.) are supported.
Live protocol tools: Update provider configuration at runtime using the update_provider_config tool via your MCP client. These changes are persisted and take effect immediately—no server restart required.

The server will always merge persistent config (from protocol tools) with environment variables, giving precedence to protocol/tool updates.

Hot Reload & Automation

When you update provider settings using either method, changes take effect instantly for all new requests. This enables:

Seamless automation and scripting via MCP tool interfaces
Hassle-free credential rotation and model switching
Dynamic environment support for CI/CD and cloud deployments
