Setting Project Path

Once the server is running, you can set the project path using the set-project-path tool. This tool accepts a path to the directory containing your specification files. After setting the path, the server will load all documents from that directory.

Example tool usage:

{
  "name": "set-project-path",
  "arguments": {
    "path": "./path/to/project"
  }
}

Available Tools

The server provides several tools for interacting with your specification documents:

Tool Name	Description
`set-project-path`	Set or change the project directory path
`get-brds`	Get Business Requirement Documents
`get-prds`	Get Product Requirement Documents
`get-nfrs`	Get Non-Functional Requirements
`get-uirs`	Get User Interface Requirements
`get-bps`	Get Business Process Documents
`get-user-stories`	Get User Stories for a specific PRD
`get-tasks`	Get Tasks for a specific User Story
`get-task`	Get details of a specific Task

Requirements

For binary installation:

curl (Unix) or PowerShell (Windows)
sudo access (Unix, for system-wide installation)

For package manager installation:

Node.js >= 16.0.0
Bun >= 1.0.0 (if using Bun runtime)
