One-line description:
Local MCP server that captures the reasoning behind every Claude Code change. Logs structured events to local SQLite; query with selvedge blame. Pure Python, MIT.
Notes:
Selvedge is an MCP server purpose-built for change tracking in AI-era codebases. AI coding agents call it as they work to log structured change events with reasoning to a local SQLite database — so the why behind every Claude Code change survives the session that produced it.
- MIT, Python 3.10+,
pip install selvedge
- v0.3.6 latest;
selvedge setup wizard detects Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot and configures all three in one command
- 340+ tests passing
- All data local; no telemetry, no network calls
Tools exposed: log_change, diff, blame, history, changeset, search.
Companion listings: Glama, Smithery, mcpservers.org, PyPI, punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers.
Happy to follow up with a PR against README_ALTERNATIVES/README_CLASSIC.md once the rebuild lands, in whatever format works.
