About

MCP server for envibe that provides controlled access to environment variables for AI assistants, with five access levels (full, read-only, placeholder, schema-only, hidden) and tools for listing, getting, setting, and describing variables.

README

npm version License: MIT

MCP server for envibe - the missing permission layer between AI agents and your .env.

Install

Add to your AI tool's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "envibe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["envibe-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add envibe npx envibe-mcp
Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your editor's MCP settings (see main envibe docs for details).

On first run, envibe automatically:

  1. Creates .env.manifest.yaml from your .env.example
  2. Generates .env.ai (filtered view for AI)
  3. Blocks direct .env file access

What is this?

This is the MCP server component of envibe. It gives AI coding assistants controlled access to your environment variables with 5 access levels:

Level AI Can See AI Can Modify
full Actual value Yes
read-only Actual value No
placeholder <VAR_NAME> No
schema-only Format only No
hidden Nothing No
