Generate product specs with the Craft.io MCP Server

The Craft.io MCP Server connects your high-level strategy to raw code. Ask Cline to draft a technical specification based on your roadmap, and it immediately gets to work. The agent starts by calling `list_workspaces` to find the right project context. Once it locates the target, it pulls the specific feature requirements using `get_item`. Cline then creates a markdown file in your local directory, writes the spec, and stages the commit. You never have to copy and paste requirements again.

Inject competitor data into your code

This integration injects live competitor metrics straight into your local environment. Cline skips writing custom API wrappers completely. It queries `search_companies` to find relevant targets in your industry. The agent then fetches the raw metrics using `get_company_financials`. It writes the React components, imports this live data, and renders the charts in your local environment. You get a working prototype in minutes.

Sync code progress with product goals

The server syncs your code progress directly with your product goals. You can tell Cline to update the roadmap after finishing a feature branch. It checks the current status by firing `check_craft_status` to ensure connectivity. After verifying the connection, it grabs the relevant portfolio via `get_portfolio`. The agent then pushes a new status update or logs a new task using `create_item`. Your product managers stay happy without you leaving VS Code.

Open the Cline sidebar and click the MCP Servers icon. Use the Remote Servers tab to add the Vinkius URL via Streamable HTTP transport. The tools will show up immediately.

That is exactly what it does best. It reads the requirements using `get_item` and generates the corresponding files in your workspace. It handles the entire process from reading the spec to writing the tests.

Yes, the agent has direct access to the search functions. It triggers `search_companies` based on your natural language prompt. The results get formatted directly into your active editor tab.

The agent will automatically try to diagnose the issue. It runs `check_craft_status` to verify the endpoint. If the connection fails, it will ask you to check your authentication token.
