Logbook MCP Server

Coding agents often skip git history. It is large, and an arbitrary slice can give the wrong picture. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with codex, developer tools and git history and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "promptwheel-ai-logbook": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@promptwheel/logbook-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
