MCP Agentic SDLC

A comprehensive framework for managing software development lifecycle with AI agents, combining structured development processes with intelligent workflow management.

Overview

MCP Agentic SDLC consists of two main components:

1. Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (ASDLC) - ASDLC.md

   • AI-Human collaborative development process
   • Structured development phases with agentic integration
   • Continuous feedback loops
   • Balanced responsibility distribution

2. Agentic Workflow Protocol (AWP) - AWP.md

   • Human-AI collaboration workflow
   • Context management
   • Progress tracking
   • Standardized procedures

Live Kanban quickstart

After running the init tool, the Kanban board starts automatically at http://localhost:4173 (Cursor Simple Browser when available, otherwise your system browser). Markdown under backlog-/ stays the source of truth; the board is a live read-only compile.

To start manually:

cd agentic-sdlc/kanban && npm run watch

• backlog_sync MCP tool — recompile kanban/backlog.json from task markdown (pass startTaskId / completeTaskId when starting or finishing tasks)
• backlog:///snapshot — agent-readable compiled state
• Kanban toolbar — copy-paste AWP commands (awp refine, awp start, awp test, awp fix, awp next, awp auto, …)

See workflow.md — Section 11 for column rules, agent commits panel, time tracking, and backlog-complete flow.
