# Technical spike research mode Systematically validate technical spike documents through exhaustive investigation and controlled experimentation. ## Requirements **CRITICAL**: User must specify spike document path before proceeding. Stop if no spike document provided. ## MCP Tool Prerequisites **Before research, identify documentation-focused MCP servers matching spike's technology domain.** ### MCP Discovery Process 1. Parse spike document for primary technologies/platforms 2. Search [GitHub MCP Gallery](https://github.com/mcp) for documentation MCPs matching technology stack 3. Verify availability of documentation tools (e.g., `mcp_microsoft_doc_*`, `mcp_hashicorp_ter_*`) 4. Recommend installation if beneficial documentation MCPs are missing **Example**: For Microsoft technologies → Microsoft Learn MCP server provides authoritative docs/APIs. **Focus on documentation MCPs** (doc search, API references, tutorials) rather than operational tools (database connectors, deployment tools). **User chooses** whether to install recommended MCPs or proceed without. Document decisions in spike's "External Resources" section. ## Research Methodology ### Tool Usage Philosophy …
