Deployed as a Cloudflare Workers application, utilizing Cloudflare KV for storing lessons learned and Durable Objects for state management across development planning sessions.
Converts GitHub issues into structured remediation tasks with subtasks, enabling automated bug fixes and post-release maintenance workflows by parsing issue JSON and generating development plans.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@DevPlan MCP Serverhelp me build a React dashboard for monitoring API metrics"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
DevPlan MCP Server
Transform ideas into executable development plans — an MCP server that brings the ClaudeCode-DevPlanBuilder methodology to Claude Code.
The Problem: AI coding assistants often lose context, skip steps, or produce inconsistent code across sessions.
The Solution: DevPlan creates detailed, Haiku-executable development plans with built-in validation, lessons learned, and issue remediation workflows.
Key Features
Feature | Description |
Haiku-Executable Plans | Plans so detailed that Claude Haiku can execute them mechanically |
Built-in Validation | Validates plans are complete before execution begins |
Real-Time Progress Tracking | Integrates with Claude Code's Task tools for live visibility |
Lessons Learned | Captures issues from verification and injects them into future plans |
Issue Remediation | Converts GitHub issues directly into remediation tasks |
Executor & Verifier Agents | Auto-generates specialized agents with task tracking built-in |
Install
Or add to ~/.claude.json under the mcpServers key:

If you already have DevPlan installed, remove from both scopes and re-add:
Quick Start
That's it. DevPlan will guide Claude through the entire process.
The DevPlan Workflow
DevPlan uses a scaffold → enhance → validate workflow that ensures every plan is Haiku-executable before implementation begins.
How It Works
Interview → DevPlan asks questions to understand your project
Brief → Creates a structured PROJECT_BRIEF.md with requirements
Generate Scaffold →
devplan_generate_plancreates a starting templateEnhance with Code → Claude (Opus/Sonnet) fills in complete, copy-pasteable code
Validate →
devplan_validate_planchecks the plan is Haiku-executableExecute → Haiku implements each subtask mechanically
Verify → Sonnet tries to break the implementation
Learn → Issues become lessons for future projects
Validation Ensures Quality
The validation step checks that plans are truly Haiku-executable:
✅ Complete code blocks (not pseudocode or placeholders)
✅ All imports included in code blocks
✅ No "add to existing" instructions
✅ No cross-subtask references
✅ Verification commands with expected outputs
Real-Time Progress with Task Tools
Generated executor and verifier agents integrate with Claude Code's Task tools for live progress visibility:
Executor agents create tasks for each subtask, showing real-time spinners as work progresses
Verifier agents create tasks for each verification phase (Smoke Tests, Feature Verification, Edge Cases, etc.)
Progress is visible without scrolling — you always know what Claude is working on
Both Task tools (real-time visibility) and DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md (durable record) are updated — giving you the best of both worlds.

Multi-Model Support
DevPlan generates plans and agent files for multiple AI coding tools and models. Use the target parameter to generate outputs for your preferred tool.
Supported Targets
Target | Tool | Agent File | Best For |
| Claude Code |
| Claude Code IDE (default) |
| Cursor IDE |
| Cursor AI editor |
| Aider CLI |
| Terminal-based AI pair programming |
| VS Code Cline |
| VS Code extension |
| Windsurf IDE |
| Codium's AI IDE |
| Any Model |
| Model-agnostic markdown format |
Using Targets
When generating plans or agent files, specify the target tool:
Generate plan for Cursor:
Generate executor for Aider:
Generate generic agent files:
How Targets Work
Each target has a dedicated adapter that transforms the DevPlan methodology into the appropriate format:
Claude - Generates
CLAUDE.mdwith executor/verifier agents in.claude/agents/Cursor - Generates
.cursorruleswith all guidance in one file (Cursor doesn't support separate agents)Aider - Generates
.aider.conf.ymlwith architect mode instructionsCline - Generates
.cline/instructions.mdwith executor/verifier splitWindsurf - Generates
.windsurf/rules.mdwith cascade-optimized formatGeneric - Generates
AGENTS.md,EXECUTOR.md, andVERIFIER.mdfor any tool
Examples

Why DevPlan?
Without DevPlan | With DevPlan |
Context lost between sessions | Plans preserve full context |
Inconsistent code quality | Haiku follows exact specifications |
Same mistakes repeated | Lessons learned system prevents recurrence |
No verification step | Sonnet actively tries to break the code |
Bugs found in production | Issues caught before release |
Plans need interpretation | Validated plans are copy-paste ready |
Dashboard & Analytics
DevPlan includes a public dashboard for viewing aggregate usage statistics:
Dashboard URL: devplanmcp.store/dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Summary cards: Total sessions, total tool calls, countries reached
Line chart: Sessions and tool calls over the last 30 days
Country table: Top 10 countries by session count
Privacy
All analytics are privacy-preserving:
No IP storage: Only Cloudflare-derived country/region codes
No user identification: Sessions are anonymous
Auto-expiration: Daily stats expire after 90 days via KV TTL
