Add to your editor's MCP settings (see main [envibe](https://github.com/dominic-righthere/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](https://github.com/dominic-righthere/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 |
## MCP Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `env_list` | List visible variables with access levels |
| `env_get` | Get a variable's value (respects permissions) |
| `env_set` | Set a variable (only `full` access) |
| `env_describe` | Get detailed info including format and example |
| `env_check_required` | Check which required variables are missing |
### v0.2.0 Features
- **Better error messages** - When access is denied, get helpful guidance
- **Format hints** - Know what format a variable should be (url, key, number, etc.)
- **Required var checking** - Use `env_check_required` to guide users through setup
## For CLI tools
If you need CLI commands like `envibe setup -i` (interactive mode), `envibe view`, or `envibe generate`, install the full package:
```bash
npm install -g envibe
```
