flowspec-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for FlowSpec — exposes project specifications to Claude Code and other MCP-compatible AI tools.

Quick Start

Add to your ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowspec": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "flowspec-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FLOWSPEC_MODE": "cloud",
        "DATABASE_URL": "your-neon-connection-string",
        "FLOWSPEC_USER_ID": "your-clerk-user-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local Mode (with FlowSpec Desktop)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowspec": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "flowspec-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FLOWSPEC_MODE": "local"
      }
    }
  }
}

Local mode connects to the FlowSpec desktop server at http://localhost:3456.
