Coddie MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with secure, read-only access to your Coddie project planning data. This allows AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to help you work with your existing projects, development phases, implementation steps, and project rules.

What is Coddie?

Coddie is a SaaS project planning application that helps developers transform ideas into structured, production-ready development plans. It uses an interactive 4-step planning process and generates comprehensive PRD documents, development phases, and actionable implementation steps focused on Next.js + TypeScript + Supabase applications.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (version 18 or higher)
• A Coddie account with existing projects
• API key from your Coddie account settings

Setup

1. Get Your Coddie API Key

1. Log in to your Coddie account
2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
3. Generate a new API key for MCP access
4. Copy the generated API key (you'll need it for configuration)

2. Configure Your AI Assistant

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coddie": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@coddieapp/mcp-server@latest",
        "--api-key",
        "your_coddie_api_key_here"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Other AI Assistants

For Cursor or Windsurf, follow their respective MCP configuration documentation using the same command structure above.

3. Restart Your AI Assistant

After updating the configuration file, restart your AI assistant to load the Coddie MCP server.

Security Considerations

⚠️ Important Security Notes:

• Read-only access: This MCP server provides read-only access to your Coddie data
• API key security: Keep your API key secure and don't share it publicly
• Project scoping: The server only accesses projects belonging to your authenticated account
• Review tool calls: Always review what the AI assistant is requesting before allowing tool execution

The Coddie MCP server provides these tools to AI assistants:

Project Management

• list_projects - List all your Coddie projects
• get_project_info - Get detailed project information (name, description, tech stack, status)
• get_context - Get development progress and context summary for a project

Features & Planning

• list_features - List all features for a specific project

Development Phases

• get_rule - Get detailed rule information (file patterns, content, descriptions)

Example Usage

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "What projects do I have in Coddie?"
• "Show me the current phase for my e-commerce project"
• "What implementation steps are left in the authentication phase?"
• "What are the coding rules for my SaaS project?"

Troubleshooting

"API key is required" error

• Ensure you've added the --api-key argument to your configuration
• Verify your API key is correct and not expired in Coddie settings

"HTTP error! status: 401"

• Your API key may be invalid or revoked
• Generate a new API key in your Coddie account settings

Connection issues

• Ensure you have an active internet connection
• Check that you can access coddie.dev in your browser
