scribe-mcp 2.2.2

Scribe MCP server, tooling, and universal CLI

Scribe MCP

Scribe MCP is a production documentation and audit platform for agent-driven software work. It gives teams a durable execution record, governed planning artifacts, and tool contracts that make multi-agent development observable, reviewable, and reproducible.

If your system depends on agents making changes over time, Scribe is the layer that preserves truth.

Overview

Scribe is designed to solve four hard problems in one package:

• persistent audit logging for agent and operator actions
• governed document workflows for architecture, planning, and execution tracking
• consistent file/search/edit tool contracts for automation-safe operations
• portable runtime modes for local usage and authenticated remote access

This repository ships the public package, public docs, and public plugin bundles needed to run Scribe in real projects.

Core capabilities

• Structured audit trail: project-aware entries with queryable history
• Governed docs engine: architecture/phase/checklist/progress workflows with managed updates
• Operator tooling: file read/search/edit helpers and diagnostics for day-to-day execution
• Storage posture: Postgres-first server/runtime contract with explicit standalone SQLite support
• Plugin bundles: ready-to-use Codex and Claude plugin surfaces under plugins/

Install and start

Install from PyPI:

pip install scribe-mcp

Quick sanity check:

scribe --help
scribe-server --help

Minimal local run (Postgres server/runtime):

export SCRIBE_STORAGE_BACKEND=postgres
export SCRIBE_DB_URL="postgresql://scribe_app:pass@127.0.0.1:5432/scribe"
scribe-server

Explicit standalone SQLite run (local-only):

export SCRIBE_MODE=standalone
export SCRIBE_STORAGE_BACKEND=sqlite
scribe-server

Runtime postures

Posture	Status	Usage
Postgres server/runtime	Default, recommended, and required for public-release/server usage	Day-to-day usage, local development, managed deployments, and all server/public-release runtime postures
Explicit standalone SQLite	Supported (opt-in local fallback)	Standalone local-only usage when SCRIBE_MODE=standalone and SCRIBE_STORAGE_BACKEND=sqlite are set
Authenticated remote/client runtime	Supported	Managed/private deployments that require centralized access
Open unauthenticated internet exposure	Unsupported	Not a supported security posture

For authenticated remote clients:

export SCRIBE_REMOTE_URL="https://your-scribe-endpoint.example"
export SCRIBE_REMOTE_AUTH_TOKEN="replace-with-your-token"
