Vibemap MCP Server

@vibemap.ai/mcp-server

Connect your IDE agent to VibeMap via the Model Context Protocol. Load project specs into any MCP-compatible AI coding agent, or reverse-engineer an existing codebase back into structured VibeMap assets.

Quick Start

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibemap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vibemap.ai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VIBEMAP_API_KEY": "vm_your_token_here",
        "VIBEMAP_BASE_URL": "https://vibemap.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}

Generate your API key at vibemap.ai → Account → Developer → API Keys.

What It Does

Outbound (VibeMap → IDE): Load your full project context — features, user stories, acceptance criteria, personas, pages, and DB schema — into your IDE agent. The agent builds to spec and updates your VibeMap kanban in real time as it works.

Inbound (IDE → VibeMap): Point the server at an existing codebase and VibeMap's AI will reverse-engineer it into a structured set of features, user stories, and acceptance criteria.

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 18
• A VibeMap account

IDE Setup

Claude Desktop

Config file: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibemap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vibemap.ai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VIBEMAP_API_KEY": "vm_your_token_here",
        "VIBEMAP_BASE_URL": "https://vibemap.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}

Fully restart Claude Desktop after saving. Confirm the 🔨 hammer icon appears in the chat input.

Cursor

Open Settings → MCP and add:

{
  "vibemap": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@vibemap.ai/mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "VIBEMAP_API_KEY": "vm_your_token_here",
      "VIBEMAP_BASE_URL": "https://vibemap.ai"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Same format as Cursor. Add to your Windsurf MCP settings file and restart.

Environment Variables

Tools

The server exposes 36 tools via the vibemap_ prefix.

Projects & context

Personas & pages (spec authoring)

Conversational agent (Engine B — hosted, metered)

Features

User stories

Acceptance criteria

Kanban — board & agentic lifecycle

Version control

Codebase

Prompts (slash commands)

The server also exposes prompts — invocable workflows your IDE surfaces as slash commands (in Claude Code: /mcp__vibemap__<name>). The body of each prompt is expanded from VibeMap's server at call time, so you invoke a workflow rather than paste a long instruction. Every prompt takes a projectId except new_project, which is the one that creates a project; the code-oriented ones also accept an optional localPath.

gen_* — run VibeMap's own generators

The author_* prompts above run on your model: your agent does the thinking and VibeMap just stores the result. The gen_* prompts are the other half — they run VibeMap's hosted generation pipelines, the same ones behind the app's /gen-… slash commands. They are metered (they draw down the project owner's VibeMap token budget) and asynchronous (you get a sessionId back and poll vibemap_get_generation_status).
