Plansmith MCP server

Give a coding agent the plan it is meant to build from. Hosted is read-only; the local server adds the write tools.

Hosted

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plansmith": {
      "url": "https://mcp.plansmith.co"
    }
  }
}

Your client discovers how to authorize on its own and sends you to a consent screen the first time. Nothing to paste.

Local

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plansmith": {
      "command": "plansmith",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Runs on your machine and reuses the session from plansmith auth. Useful when the agent is already local and you would rather not authorize a second connection.

What the agent can do

Read the plan and build from it: list projects and plans, pull a whole plan tree in one call, read a Spec with its numbered acceptance criteria, and export a plan as markdown.

The hosted server is read-only in v1. To let an agent create plans and Specs, set a status, write an epic, attach context or push to your issue tracker, run the local server instead: it acts under the session you just created rather than a connection you authorized months ago.

An agent connected this way acts as you. It can reach exactly the plans you can reach, and a read-only credential can never change anything. Revoke a connection any time in Settings → API keys.

A good first prompt

Read PLAN-12 in the recipe-box project from Plansmith and
implement SPEC-1, following its acceptance criteria exactly.
