# PRD Generator MCP Server

The PRD Generator MCP server (`ainative-prd-mcp`) provides 18 tools for creating, validating, and managing Product Requirement Documents. It has built-in knowledge of all 22 AINative products and 1,968 API endpoints.

```bash
npm i ainative-prd-mcp
```

:::info AINative Account Required
Full functionality (AI generation, PRD persistence, semantic search) requires a ZeroDB API key. Template rendering, validation, and platform discovery work without an account. The server **auto-provisions a free instance** on first run if no credentials are found.
:::

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ainative-prd-mcp
```

On first run without credentials, the server:
1. Provisions a free ZeroDB instance (~800ms)
2. Saves credentials to `.mcp.json` and `.env`
3. Prints a **claim URL** to take permanent ownership

## Setup
