patchlog-mcp

MCP server for Patchlog. Write, update, and publish your changelog straight from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client. Ship a feature, then tell your agent "add a changelog entry for this" and it lands on your public changelog.

Requirements

• A Patchlog account on the Pro plan (the API is a Pro feature)
• An API token from Settings > API Tokens
• Node.js 18 or newer

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add patchlog -e PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN=your-token-here -- npx -y patchlog-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "patchlog": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "patchlog-mcp"],
            "env": {
                "PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
            }
        }
    }
}

Cursor

Add the same block to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "patchlog": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "patchlog-mcp"],
            "env": {
                "PATCHLOG_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
            }
        }
    }
}

Remote server (no Node required)

Patchlog also serves this same tool set as a remote MCP endpoint. Point your client at https://patchlog.io/mcp with your API token as a bearer token:

claude mcp add --transport http patchlog https://patchlog.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer your-token-here"
