About Selvedge
A local MCP server that AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) call as they work, logging the why behind every change into a SQLite file under .selvedge/ next to your code. Selvedge is a git blame for the why, a local MCP server your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) calls as it works, recording the intent behind each change in the moment it makes it, not reconstructing it from the diff afterward.
