MCP server for full Subversion (SVN) integration
MCP Svn becomes available to MCP clients through the mcp svn mcp server. MCP server for full Subversion (SVN) integration.
A complete MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Subversion (SVN) integration, designed to let AI agents manage SVN repositories efficiently.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 12 tools directly:
svn_health_check — The svn_health_check tool exposed by this serversvn_info — Get detailed information about the working copy or a specific filesvn_status — The svn_status tool exposed by this serversvn_log — The svn_log tool exposed by this serversvn_diff — The svn_diff tool exposed by this serversvn_checkout — The svn_checkout tool exposed by this serversvn_update — The svn_update tool exposed by this serversvn_add — The svn_add tool exposed by this serversvn_commit — The svn_commit tool exposed by this serversvn_delete — The svn_delete tool exposed by this serversvn_revert — The svn_revert tool exposed by this serversvn_cleanup — The svn_cleanup tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @grec0/mcp-svn, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 6 environment variables: SVN_PATH, SVN_WORKING_DIRECTORY, SVN_URL, SVN_USERNAME, SVN_PASSWORD, SVN_REPOSITORY_URL. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Svn sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — svn_health_check, svn_info, svn_status among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
