How do I install the selvedge mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`, `CHANGESET_ID` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

Tool	What it does
log_change	Record a change event with entity, diff, and reasoning. rename_from + change_type="rename" records the dual-event rename pattern; change_type="supersede" re-ope
diff	History for an entity or entity prefix, each row annotated with superseded_by
blame	Most recent change + context for an exact entity, plus the derived decision status (active / reverted / reopened)
history	Filtered history across all entities
changeset	All events grouped under a named feature/task slug
search	Full-text search across all events
prior_attempts	Prior change attempts on an entity + inferred outcome (tried → reverted → re-opened) — call it before editing. Optional fuzzy query adds semantically similar re
stale_decisions	Decisions due for a revisit: past their revisit_after and still in active use (flag="revisit_due"), or whose stale_when condition matched a later change (flag="
