Vibe Plan

You can run a focused MCP server that asks simple questions, gathers your project requirements, and then suggests a practical, beginner-friendly tech stack with deployment guidance. This server helps you move from idea to a concrete plan quickly, without getting overwhelmed by options.

How to use

Start by connecting an MCP client to the vibe stack planner. Use the interactive planning flow to answer a few straightforward questions about your project, such as what you are building, who will use it, which features you need, expected user load, and your budget and comfort level with technology. The server guides you through progressive elicitation, then provides a tailored stack recommendation and deployment advice.

How to install

Prerequisites: you should have Python installed on your system. You will also need the ability to run Python scripts and install Python packages.

# Install the MCP framework dependency
uv pip install fastmcp

Run the MCP server using the provided Python script.

python run_server.py

Add the server to your MCP client configuration. Use the server name vibe-stack-planner and point it to the Python command and script path as shown.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe-stack-planner": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/vibe_coder_stack_planner/run_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Deployment and capabilities

When you request deployment guidance, you receive step-by-step instructions tailored to your chosen platforms, such as frontend hosting, backend services, and authentication. The server analyzes your requirements and returns a practical stack with cost estimates and deployment steps.
