## Quick Start

### GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

Create `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-graph": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcp-graph-workflow/mcp-graph"]
    }
  }
}
```

Enable **Agent Mode** in Copilot Chat, then use the tools: `init → import_prd → next → context → update_status`

### Claude Code / Cursor / IntelliJ

Add to `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-graph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mcp-graph-workflow/mcp-graph"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Windsurf / Zed / Other MCP Clients

Use stdio transport with:

```
npx -y @mcp-graph-workflow/mcp-graph
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone <repo-url> && cd mcp-graph-workflow
npm install && npm run build
npm run dev        # HTTP + dashboard at localhost:3000
```

> For detailed setup, see [Getting Started](docs/GETTING-STARTED.md).

## Features

- **PRD → Task Graph** — Import .md, .txt, .pdf, or .html documents and auto-generate hierarchical task trees
- **AI-Optimized Context** — 70-85% token reduction with tiered compression (summary/standard/deep)
- **Smart Task Routing** — `next` suggests the best task based on priority, dependencies, and blockers
- **Semantic Search + RAG** — Full-text BM25 search + TF-IDF embeddings, 100% local
- **Sprint Planning** — Velocity metrics, capacity-based planning, risk assessment
- **Web Dashboard** — Interactive graph visualization, backlog tracking, code intelligence, insights
- **Multi-Agent Mesh** — Serena + GitNexus + Context7 + Playwright coordinated via event bus, with phase-aware MCP suggestions
- **Environment Doctor** — `mcp-graph doctor` validates Node.js, SQLite, permissions, integrations, and suggests fixes
- **Local-First** — SQLite persistence, zero external dependencies, cross-platform

## Who is this for?

| Persona | Use Case |
|---------|----------|
| **AI Engineers** | Structured agentic workflows with token-efficient context |
| **Tech Leads** | PRD decomposition into trackable, dependency-aware task graphs |
| **Solo Developers** | Project planning with AI-powered suggestions and progress tracking |
| **Teams using Copilot/Claude/Cursor** | MCP-native tool integration for AI-assisted development |

## Dashboard

6 tabs: **Graph** (interactive diagram + filters) · **PRD & Backlog** (progress tracking) · **GitNexus** (code intelligence) · **Serena** (code memories) · **Insights** (bottlenecks + metrics) · **Benchmark** (token economy)
