Patchlog
Create, update, and publish changelog entries on your Patchlog changelog from any MCP client.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http patchlog 'https://patchlog.io/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"patchlog": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://patchlog.io/mcp"
}
}
}

"command": "npx",

patchlog-mcp
MCP server for Patchlog. Write, update, and publish your changelog straight from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client. Ship a feature, then tell your agent "add a changelog entry for this" and it lands on your public changelog.
Requirements
- A Patchlog account on the Pro plan (the API is a Pro feature)
- An API token from Settings > API Tokens
- Node.js 18 or newer
Setup
Claude Code
claude mcp add patchlog -e PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN=your-token-here -- npx -y patchlog-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"patchlog": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "patchlog-mcp"],
"env": {
"PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add the same block to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"patchlog": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "patchlog-mcp"],
"env": {
"PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
}
}
}
Remote server (no Node required)
Patchlog also serves this same tool set as a remote MCP endpoint. Point your client at https://patchlog.io/mcp with your API token as a bearer token:
claude mcp add --transport http patchlog https://patchlog.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer your-token-here"
