Responsible Vibe MCP

What is Responsible Vibe MCP about?

Responsible Vibe MCP provides a set of proven development processes (V‑model, EPCC, TDD, reproduction‑based bug‑fixes, etc.) that an AI coding assistant can follow. It keeps notes, plans tasks, and maintains memory across conversations and branches, ensuring the agent acts as a disciplined development partner rather than a free‑form code generator.

How to use Responsible Vibe MCP?

1. Install / generate config – run the quick‑start command:

   npx responsible-vibe-mcp --generate-config amazonq-cli  # replace with claude, gemini, opencode, etc.
   

2. Place the generated configuration in your project directory.
3. Open an empty folder and ask the configured agent to build a feature (e.g., “Build a UNO‑like card game”).
4. The agent will start by taking notes, creating a task list, writing tests, and iterating through the selected workflow while you stay in the driver’s seat.

Key features of Responsible Vibe MCP

• Multiple battle‑tested workflows (V‑model, Anthropic EPCC, TDD, bug‑reproduction, etc.)
• Context‑aware process guidance that survives compression and session boundaries
• Persistent project memory across conversations and git branches
• Automatic documentation, decision tracking, and changelog generation
• Universal MCP support – works with any agent that follows the Model‑Context‑Protocol
• Plug‑and‑play configuration for popular agents (Amazon Q, Claude, Gemini, OpenCode)

Use cases of Responsible Vibe MCP

• Rapid prototyping: Quickly spin up a new project and have the AI follow a disciplined workflow from design to delivery.
• Team onboarding: New developers can pair with the AI to learn best‑practice processes while the AI records decisions.
• Bug fixing: Use the reproduction‑based workflow to systematically isolate, write failing tests, and fix defects.
• Documentation generation: Keep project READMEs, architecture diagrams, and changelogs up to date automatically.
• Continuous integration: Integrate the MCP server into CI pipelines to enforce TDD or EPCC standards on AI‑generated code.

FAQ from the Responsible Vibe MCP

Q: Do I need to modify my existing codebase to use this? A: No. The MCP server works as an overlay; it adds process guidance and memory while leaving the underlying code untouched.

Q: Which AI agents are supported? A: Any agent that implements the Model‑Context‑Protocol. The quick‑start command provides ready‑made configs for amazonq‑cli, claude, gemini, and opencode.

Q: Is there a cost to run the server? A: The server itself is open‑source and free. You only pay for the underlying AI model usage (e.g., Amazon Q, Claude) according to the provider’s pricing.

Q: Can I customize the workflow? A: Yes. The generated configuration can be edited to select a different workflow or adjust step‑by‑step prompts.

Q: How does project memory persist? A: The MCP server stores notes and plans in a hidden directory within the project, linking them to git branches so the context is restored on each session.

Responsible Vibe MCP

Transform any AI coding agent into a structured development partner with battle-tested engineering workflows.

⚡ Quick Start

# Setup your coding agent
npx responsible-vibe-mcp --generate-config amazonq-cli  # or claude, gemini, opencode
# OR manually configure any MCP agent with our system prompt, check the docs for that

Head over to a new empty dir and ask your agent: "Build a UNO-like card game" – and instantly experience how your agent doesn't just shoot, but starts engineering – with YOU in the driver seat!

What You Get

✅ Multiple battle-tested workflows (classical V-model "waterfall", Anthropic's EPCC, Test-Driven-Development, Reproduction-based bugfix, and many more)

✅ Context-aware process guidance: Your agent will take notes and plan tasks which survive context compression and even sessions.

✅ Project memory across conversations and branches

✅ Automatic documentation and decision tracking

Universal MCP Support

Works in any agent that supports the Model-Context-Protocol. Whenever a new IDE or Terminal UI rises: You don't need to change the way you work.

How It's Different

There are zillions of "game changer next gen IDEs" out there, each claiming they will revolutionalize how software is going to be created.

In the end, they all just manipulate context of a transformer based LLM – it's all just noodle soup. And they are fast at changing wha't going to be part of the context, and it's even getting accelerated by parallel agents.

The problem: The faster agents become, the harder it is to engineer. I strongly believe that software engineering is a creative process which majorly happens inside the engineers brain.

Responsible-Vibe-MCP helps to fill the conversation context with contents from YOUR brain – instead of relying the agent will have understood what you should have thought about.

And since may developers tend to through structured processing off the cliff once they think they start coding, responsible-vibe-mcp will maintain proactive process guidance - your AI knows what to do next in each development phase, follow proven engineering methodologies, and maintain long-term project context.
