Spec-driven testing over MCP. Turn Linear / JIRA / GitHub Issues / Notion / Figma / Markdown specs into runnable scenarios, hand off to any test runner via
mk-qa-master, and keep a live spec ↔ test coverage matrix.
🟢 Alpha — v0.4: self-reinforcement. 18 tools + 6 adapters. Snapshots archived per
get_optimization_plancall → trend analysis + chronic-spec detection + tool-usage telemetry. Full design indocs/prd.md.
What this is
An MCP server that turns specs — Linear tickets, JIRA stories, GitHub Issues, Notion pages, Figma annotations, plain Markdown — into structured test scenarios, hands them to any test runner (via mk-qa-master or directly), and maintains a live spec ↔ test coverage matrix.
Sibling to mk-qa-master in the mk-* family of opinionated AI-QA MCPs.
What this is NOT
| It's not | Use this instead |
|---|---|
| A spec editor | Linear / JIRA / Notion / Markdown — keep writing specs where you already do |
| A test runner | mk-qa-master (pytest / Jest / Cypress / Go test / Maestro) |
| An issue tracker UI | Linear / JIRA / Notion's native interface |
| A spec → code generator | GitHub Spec Kit, AWS Kiro |
| An LLM | Leverages your AI client (Claude / Cursor / Codex / Gemini) for the reasoning |
mk-spec-master sits between your spec source and your test runner — purely about the spec ↔ test link, the coverage matrix that lives on top, and the quality coach that grades both.
Tool surface (15 tools)
Grouped by role. Each group is a layer in the spec→test→coverage→coach loop.
Meta — orientation (1)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
get_spec_source_info |
Active adapter + all available. Call first so the AI knows whether to expect Linear / JIRA / Notion / Figma / Markdown semantics |
Discovery — find and load specs (3)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
list_specs |
Enumerate specs from the active source (filter by status / label / limit) |
fetch_spec |
Pull a single spec's full content by id |
parse_spec |
Heuristic AC extraction (en + zh-TW + zh-CN headings supported); accepts spec_id or raw_text. Returns _meta.ac_hash for drift detection |
Generation — specs → testable artifacts (2)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
extract_scenarios |
AC → scenarios with happy / edge / error classification (negation-aware) and best-effort Given/When/Then split |
generate_test_plan |
One-shot fetch + parse + extract → markdown plan ready to feed to mk-qa-master.generate_test(business_context=...) |
Coverage & drift — the traceability layer (4)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
link_test_to_spec |
Record that a test verifies a spec (writes to SPEC_PROJECT_ROOT/.mk-spec-master/index.json). Stores title / source / url / ac_hash for the matrix and drift report |
auto_link_tests |
Scan a test directory for @spec: <ID> tags and link them automatically. Python / JS / TS / Go supported. dry_run previews without writing |
get_coverage_matrix |
Spec × test grid — answer "which specs have no tests" in one call |
get_drift_report |
Re-fetch each linked spec, recompute ac_hash, compare. Buckets into fresh / drifted / unknown / stranded |
Coach — quality + prioritization (3)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
analyze_spec_quality |
Heuristic findings on vague language, implementation-leak AC, unclear role refs (the differentiator vs Kiro / Spec Kit) |
propose_spec_improvements |
Take analyze output → PM-facing markdown with concrete rewrites |
get_optimization_plan |
Three-layer prioritized plan: coverage gaps (L1) + spec-quality (L2) + process drift (L3). The "what should we fix next" tool |
Knowledge — domain methodology (2)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
init_spec_knowledge |
Create SPEC_PROJECT_ROOT/spec-knowledge.md from a starter template (EARS, INVEST, AC quality rules + TODO sections for your team's rules / actors / glossary). Idempotent |
get_spec_context |
Read the spec-knowledge file (with built-in fallback). Optional section filter pulls one heading at a time. Call near the start of every session |
Self-reinforcement — long-running view (3, v0.4)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
get_spec_history |
Last N snapshots archived by get_optimization_plan, with trend deltas (current vs ~7d, vs ~30d) for spec / coverage / quality / drift counters. "Are we improving?" |
get_drift_signature |
Scan recent snapshots for specs that repeatedly land in drifted / unknown / low-quality buckets — chronic patterns. "Which specs keep causing trouble?" |
get_telemetry |
Aggregate the tool-usage log: which tools get called most, error rates, p50 / p95 latency, dead-surface (declared but never called) |

Common workflows
Four patterns cover ~90% of real use. Each is one sentence to the AI client; the tools chain automatically.
1. Spec → test → run → coverage (the main loop)
"Fetch LIN-123 from Linear, extract scenarios, generate Playwright tests with mk-qa-master, run them, and update the coverage matrix."
Chains: fetch_spec → parse_spec → extract_scenarios → mk-qa-master.generate_test (×N) → link_test_to_spec (×N) → mk-qa-master.run_tests → get_coverage_matrix.
2. Spec health check
"Review every in-progress spec for quality issues and give me a prioritized improvement plan."
Chains: list_specs(status="in-progress") → analyze_spec_quality → propose_spec_improvements → get_optimization_plan.
3. Rebuild traceability after a refactor
"Sync the spec ↔ test index from the test source — I just renamed a bunch of files."
Chains: auto_link_tests → get_coverage_matrix. Tests need @spec: <ID> docstring tags for auto-link to work; comment-above-function and docstring-inside both supported.
4. Session warmup
"Before we work on specs today: load the spec-knowledge methodology and tell me which source is active."
Chains: get_spec_source_info → get_spec_context. Cheap, sets the methodology + adapter context for everything that follows.
Sample output
get_optimization_plan markdown (excerpt)
# Optimization plan
_Coverage matrix: 23 spec(s) tracked, 4 untested._
_Spec quality: 23 spec(s) analyzed, 17 finding(s)._
_Drift: 2 drifted, 0 stranded, 5 without ac_hash._
## 🔴 Layer 1 — Coverage gaps
**Specs with zero tests** (ranked first — every business risk lives here):
- `LIN-204` — Apply promo code at checkout
- `LIN-211` — Refund flow
## 🟡 Layer 2 — Spec quality
### `LIN-098` — Checkout latency (score: 80/100, findings: 4)
- 🟡 `ac-1`: Quantify (e.g., 'response within 200 ms') (evidence: `fast`)
- 🔴 `ac-3`: Rewrite to describe what the user observes (evidence: `redis`)
## 🔵 Layer 3 — Process drift
**Drifted** (spec changed since link — review affected tests):
- `LIN-123` — Apply discount at checkout · 4 test(s) potentially stale
get_coverage_matrix markdown (excerpt)
# Coverage matrix
- Specs tracked: 23
- Specs shown (min_tests=0): 23
- Specs with zero tests: 4
| Spec | Title | Tests | Last status |
|---------|--------------------------------|------:|-------------|
| `LIN-204` | Apply promo code at checkout | 0 | — |
| `LIN-123` | Apply discount at checkout | 4 | passed |

- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Then in Claude / Cursor / Codex / Gemini CLI:
"Use mk-spec-master to parse SPEC-001, extract scenarios, and hand them to mk-qa-master so we can generate Playwright tests."
Why this is missing from the ecosystem
| Tool | Lock-in | What we do differently |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Kiro | AWS IDE only, proprietary | MCP-native, multi-client, open source |
| Jama Connect MCP | $50k+/year, enterprise-only | SMB / indie / AI-native segment |
| GitHub Spec Kit | spec→code; runtime test coverage out of scope | We add runtime test coverage |
| testomat.io / JIRA MCPs | Single source (JIRA), SaaS lock | Multi-source, file-based index, no lock |
See docs/prd.md §4 for the full positioning.
Walkthrough — spec → test → coverage (long form)
Given a Linear ticket LIN-123 "Apply discount at checkout" with 4 acceptance criteria:
You: Use mk-spec-master to fetch LIN-123, extract scenarios, generate
Playwright tests with mk-qa-master, run them, and report coverage.
The AI client chains:
mk-spec-master.fetch_spec("LIN-123")
mk-spec-master.parse_spec(spec_id="LIN-123") → 4 AC + ac_hash
mk-spec-master.extract_scenarios(...) → 1 happy + 3 error
mk-spec-master.generate_test_plan(spec_id="LIN-123")
for scenario in plan:
mk-qa-master.generate_test(business_context=scenario.gherkin)
mk-spec-master.link_test_to_spec(spec_id="LIN-123", test_node_id=..., ac_hash=...)
mk-qa-master.run_tests
mk-spec-master.get_coverage_matrix
The traceability index now records all 4 links with their AC hashes. Next sprint, when the spec changes, get_drift_report flags every test whose linked spec has moved — re-run the chain only for those.
