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

Install

Add to your AI tool's MCP config:

{

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["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:
