Integration Guide

MCP Server

Plan projects, estimate timelines, get tech stack recommendations, and receive smart model routing — all from inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible assistant.

What Is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Instead of copy-pasting project details between apps, MCP connects your assistant directly to Vibe Coding Plan — so it can generate structured plans, cost estimates, and model recommendations in real time.

Parameters: project_name (required), project_description (required), features (optional array)

estimate_project

Get a quick time and complexity estimate for any software project. Returns estimated hours, complexity rating, development phases, and model routing suggestions.

Parameters: project_description (required)

suggest_tech_stack

Get a recommended technology stack for your project based on requirements and preferences. Returns categorized recommendations with reasoning.

Parameters: project_description (required), preferences (optional)

Setup Guide

Get Your API Token

Choose Your Client

The MCP server works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others.

Add the Config

Add the JSON configuration block (see below) to your client's MCP settings file. The server runs via npx — no global install needed.

Start Using It

Ask your assistant to plan a project. It will automatically call the MCP tools and return structured plans with model recommendations and cost estimates.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-coding-plan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vibe-coding-plan-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VIBE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-coding-plan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vibe-coding-plan-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VIBE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

VIBE_API_TOKEN (required) — Your API token from vibecoderplanner.com/api-tokens

VIBE_API_URL (optional) — Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://vibecoderplanner.com

Example Prompts

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant naturally. It will call the right MCP tool automatically.

→ Plan a SaaS project for invoice management with Stripe integration

→ How long would it take to build a real-time chat app with WebSockets?

→ What tech stack should I use for a multi-tenant B2B platform?

→ Break down a mobile fitness tracker app into tasks with cost estimates

→ Estimate the complexity of building an AI-powered resume screener

How It Works

You ask your AI assistant to plan a project in natural language.

The assistant calls the MCP server, which forwards the request to the Vibe Coding Plan API.

The API returns a structured plan — tasks with descriptions, prompts, time estimates, complexity ratings, and recommended AI models per task.

Your assistant presents the plan in a readable format. You can then open it in the full Vibe Coding Plan dashboard to execute tasks with automatic model routing.
