POC MCP project for software lifecycle/project management with codex

Over the last couple weekends I created a proof-of-principle MCP server that aims to manages full project management context documentation for application development. I wanted to see how a pure MCP tool-driven system could work for driving software development process based on specification, requirements, explicit task management, acceptance testing and architectural review where human-readable markdown documentation was the record of source (no database). It’s not really intended to be a finished product, but more on an experiment and data point to answer the question on how best to utilize today’s frontier LLMs in coding work.

The ReSpecT MCP project is the result and it’s been working pretty well in my hands with Codex and thought I would share in case anyone else wanted to scratch that itch too.

ReSpecT MCP GitHub repository

Example App used in the demo - GitHub

* Does not work on Windows at the moment due to file I/O library choice, working on this

* Making YouTube videos that don’t suck is hard

* GitHub Spec Kit was released during my development of this project. I haven’t used it, but will compare it soon.
