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. 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:

npm install -g envibe
