ReqRefine

ReqRefine MCP Server provides a conversational note-management service that guides users through requirements discovery, stores notes, and offers a summarization tool to turn scattered notes into structured insights. It is useful for teams that want an organized, collaborative approach to gathering and compiling requirements.

How to use

You interact with the ReqRefine MCP Server through a client that speaks the MCP protocol. The server stores notes accessible via a custom note:// URI scheme and offers two main actions: adding notes and summarizing all stored notes. Use the add-note tool to capture new ideas and the summarize-notes prompt to generate concise or detailed summaries of your current notes.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need to have an MCP runtime available on your system (the MCP client and runtime used to run stdio servers). Ensure you can run a local MCP server process and accept stdio-based interactions.

uv sync
uv build
uv publish
