## 🚀 Quick Start

### Step 1: Add to your AI tool

Add to your MCP configuration (see client-specific setup below):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spec-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest", "/path/to/your/project"]
    }
  }
}
```

With auto-started dashboard:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spec-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest", "/path/to/your/project", "--AutoStartDashboard"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Step 2: Choose your interface

**Option A: Web Dashboard** (Required for CLI users)
```bash
npx -y @pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest /path/to/your/project --dashboard
```

**Option B: VSCode Extension** (Recommended for VSCode users)

Install [Spec Workflow MCP Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Pimzino.spec-workflow-mcp) from the VSCode marketplace.

## 🔧 MCP Client Setup

<details>
<summary><strong>Augment Code</strong></summary>

Configure in your Augment settings:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spec-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest", "/path/to/your/project"]
    }
  }
}
```
</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Claude Code CLI</strong></summary>

Add to your MCP configuration:
```bash
claude mcp add spec-workflow npx @pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest -- /path/to/your/project
```

**Important Notes:**
- The `-y` flag bypasses npm prompts for smoother installation
- The `--` separator ensures the path is passed to the spec-workflow script, not to npx
- Replace `/path/to/your/project` with your actual project directory path

**Alternative for Windows (if the above doesn't work):**
```bash
claude mcp add spec-workflow cmd.exe /c "npx @pimzino/spec-workflow-mcp@latest /path/to/your/project"
```
