Codeledger MCP Server
CodeLedger turns every coding action into a persistent, compounding asset. Without CodeLedger: Context is lost between agents Every task starts from scratch Failures repeat. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Shell.

01 · Install Codeledger
before you install - you'll need
The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.
Claude Code
claude mcp add codeledgerecf-codeledger -- npx -y @codeledger/cli Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"codeledgerecf-codeledger": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@codeledger/cli"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package @codeledger/cli - the @codeledger scope differs from the repo owner (codeledgerecf); confirm it's the project's official package
registry namespace io.github.codeledgerECF is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
