Specivo Docs

What is Specivo?

Specivo is a self-hosted platform that combines three tools most teams otherwise stitch together:

  1. A project tracker — issues, sprints, releases, and reporting.
  2. A wiki — your team's living knowledge base, version-controlled.
  3. An AI integration layer — a built-in MCP server so AI assistants can do real work in the tracker.

Because you run it yourself, your issues, documents, and search index never leave infrastructure you control. There is no per-seat license; you add as many teammates as you need.

Who it's for

Specivo is built for small-to-medium teams who want one place for what we're doing and what we know, and who increasingly work alongside AI agents. If your decisions vanish into chat, your docs are scattered across five apps, and your AI assistants ship work in a black box, Specivo is designed to fix that.

How the pieces fit together

Everything in Specivo connects:

  • An issue can link to related issues, carry structured metadata, hold file attachments, and reference a wiki page.
  • A wiki page can cross-link to other pages and be referenced from issues.
  • Search spans issues, wiki pages, comments, and attachment descriptions at once.
  • AI agents reach all of the above through the MCP server, and every change they make is recorded just like a change made by a person.

AI is optional

Specivo works fully without any AI features. Semantic search and the MCP server are there when you want them — using a bundled on-device model or your own API key — and out of the way when you don't.

What this guide covers

This is the end-user and operator guide. It explains how to use Specivo (issues, metadata, wiki, AI agents) and how to install and run it (Installing Specivo). It is not an API or source-code reference.
