Agile Planner MCP Server (v1.7.3) - AI-Powered Agile Backlog Generator

smithery badge License: MIT MCP Compatible Windsurf Ready Cascade Integrated npm version GitHub Stars

Install in Windsurf Install in Cascade Install in Cursor

Agile Planner MCP automatically generates complete agile backlogs (Epics, User Stories, MVP, iterations) or specific features from a simple description, directly within Windsurf, Cascade, or Cursor, with no technical skills required.

Latest improvements (v1.7.3):

  • Correction du mode MCP pour generateFeature: Amélioration robuste de l'extraction des user stories
  • Structure RULE 3 renforcée: Creation cohérente des dossiers epics/features/user-stories
  • Résolution du problème Notepad sur Windows: Normalisation des flux stderr/stdout en mode MCP
  • Logs de diagnostic détaillés: Identification plus facile des problèmes
  • Restructuration du projet: Organisation claire des fichiers de test et temporaires
  • Mise à jour des guides d'utilisation: Instructions complètes pour Windsurf, Claude et Cursor
  • See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

Previous improvements (v1.7.1):

  • Refonte complète de la documentation MCP: Documentation détaillée de l'architecture serveur MCP avec diagrammes Mermaid.
  • Réduction de la complexité cognitive: Refactorisation majeure des modules critiques (json-parser, mcp-router).
  • Amélioration de la robustesse: Meilleure gestion des erreurs et tests d'intégration E2E optimisés.
  • See CHANGELOG.md for details.

❌ Without Agile Planner MCP

Creating agile backlogs manually is time-consuming and error-prone:

  • ❌ Hours spent writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and tasks
  • ❌ Inconsistent formatting and structure across different projects
  • ❌ No clear implementation guidance for AI coding assistants
  • ❌ Manual prioritization and organization without strategic framework

✅ With Agile Planner MCP

Gestion d’erreur centralisée

  • Tous les retours d’erreur des fonctions generateBacklog et generateBacklogDirect sont désormais formatés par handleBacklogError pour garantir l’uniformité du JSON et la robustesse de l’audit.
  • Les exemples d’erreur affichent le format : { success: false, error: { message: ... } }

Agile Planner MCP generates complete, structured agile backlogs with precise AI-guided annotations in seconds:

  • Complete backlog structure with epics, features, user stories, and orphan stories
  • AI-optimized annotations that guide implementation step-by-step
  • Progress tracking with task checkboxes and dependency management
  • Centralized organization in a dedicated .agile-planner-backlog folder
  • Intelligent feature organization that automatically associates features with relevant epics

Note TDD : Les assertions sur les erreurs doivent vérifier le format unifié { success: false, error: { message: ... } }. Toute modification du format d’erreur nécessite la mise à jour des tests d’intégration.

🚦 Setting up in Windsurf / Cascade / Cursor

Ask your administrator or technical team to add this MCP server to your workspace configuration:

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY or GROQ_API_KEY.

Option 1: Using a local installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agile-planner": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["D:/path/to/agile-planner/server/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_EXECUTION": "true",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Using the NPM package

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agile-planner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["agile-planner-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_EXECUTION": "true",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

🧠 How It Works

  1. Describe your project in plain English, providing as much detail as possible.

    SaaS task management system for teams with Slack integration, 
    mobile support, and GDPR compliance.
    
  2. Agile Planner MCP processes your description through a robust validation pipeline:

    • 🤖 Leverages OpenAI or Groq LLMs to generate the backlog structure
    • 🧪 Validates the structure against a comprehensive JSON schema
    • 🔍 Enhances features with acceptance criteria and tasks
    • 📝 Organizes stories into epics and features
    • 🏗️ Creates a complete directory structure with markdown files
  3. Receive a fully structured agile backlog in seconds:

Structure du dossier généré

.agile-planner-backlog/
├── epics/
│   └── [epic-slug]/
│       ├── epic.md
│       └── features/
│           └── [feature-slug]/
│               ├── feature.md
│               └── user-stories/
│                   ├── [story-1].md
│                   └── [story-2].md
├── orphan-stories/
│   ├── [story-orpheline-1].md
│   └── [story-orpheline-2].md
└── backlog.json

Note : Les dossiers planning/mvp et planning/iterations sont supprimés. Toutes les user stories sont générées dans leur arborescence épics/features ou dans orphan-stories si elles ne sont rattachées à aucune feature/epic. Le fichier backlog.json ne contient plus de sections mvp ou iterations.

All files include AI-friendly instructions to guide implementation. See the examples folder for sample outputs.
