envibe-mcp

Install

Add to your AI tool's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "envibe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["envibe-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

  • 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
