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

Installation 🛠️

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

1. Build the project:

pnpm run build

1. Add to your MCP settings configuration (typically located at ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "software-planning-tool": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/software-planning-tool/build/index.js"
      ],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Available Tools 🔧

start_planning

Start a new planning session with a specific goal.

{
  goal: string  // The software development goal to plan
}

add_todo

Add a new todo item to the current plan.

{
  title: string,         // Title of the todo item
  description: string,   // Detailed description
  complexity: number,    // Complexity score (0-10)
  codeExample?: string  // Optional code example
}

get_todos

Retrieve all todos in the current plan.

// No parameters required

update_todo_status

Update the completion status of a todo item.

{
  todoId: string,     // ID of the todo item
  isComplete: boolean // New completion status
}

save_plan

Save the current implementation plan.

{
  plan: string  // The implementation plan text
}

remove_todo

Remove a todo item from the current plan.

{
  todoId: string  // ID of the todo item to remove
}

Example Usage 📝

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

1. Start a planning session:

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

1. 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
  `
});

1. Update todo status:

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

1. 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
  `
});
