Building an MCP Server with MAID Runner & Claude Code

Description

Learn how to set up MAID Runner CLI and build an MCP server using AI-assisted development with Claude Code. Step-by-step tutorial for developers. In this comprehensive tutorial, I walk you through installing and configuring MAID Runner CLI, initializing a project with the MAID methodology, and using the spike command to explore implementation plans. You'll see real-world AI-assisted development in action as we build an MCP server foundation using Claude Code integration. We cover the three usage modes of MAID Runner (manual, AI-assisted, and fully automated), project initialization with maid init, working with GitHub issues, and leveraging custom slash commands for agent-driven development. Perfect for developers interested in modern AI-powered development workflows. By the end of this video, you'll understand how to integrate MAID Runner into your projects, set up proper project structure with manifests and tests, and use AI tools effectively within the MAID methodology framework. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Introduction and Overview 0:38 - Installing MAID Runner CLI Tool 1:03 - Project Structure and Issue Setup 1:40 - Initializing MAID in the Project 3:02 - Using Spike Command to Explore Ideas 4:16 - Generating Manifest for Task 001 5:05 - Creating Behavioral Tests with TDD 6:23 - Implementing Code with MAID Developer Agent 7:43 - Manual Validation and Testing Process 8:28 - Claude Code Forking Technique 10:10 - Implementing Multiple Tasks Sequentially 12:32 - Using MAID-Run Command for Complete Workflow 13:08 - Parallel Implementation of Tasks 5-8 14:10 - Final Integration Task and Server Testing 15:33 - Recap and Closing Remarks 🔗 RESOURCES - MAID Runner: https://github.com/mamertofabian/maid-runner - MAID Runner MCP Server: https://github.com/mamertofabian/maid-runner-mcp 💬 Questions?
