Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Local context and engineering evidence for AI coding agents.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Which app do you use?
Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

"codeledger": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@codeledger/cli",

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.10.82) reached the registry 7 days ago.

Give AI coding agents the right repo context before they start - then verify what changed.
CodeLedger is local-first context control for AI coding agents. It scans a repository, selects a bounded task-relevant set of files, and writes an evidence-backed context bundle before the agent begins work.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and other CLI or MCP-compatible coding agents.
npm install -g @codeledger/cli
cd your-project codeledger ready --task "Fix null handling in user service"
CodeLedger initializes the repo if needed, refreshes the index, and creates the task-specific bundle at .codeledger/active-bundle.md. Your agent reads that artifact first so it starts with the files most relevant to the task.
Runtime analysis is local by default. Installing or updating may fetch packages or release artifacts from npm and GitHub Releases; CodeLedger runtime analysis does not send your source code through CodeLedger telemetry by default.
Example result from a mid-sized Node.js service. Results vary by repository, task, agent, and scenario.
| Metric | Without CodeLedger | With CodeLedger | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tests Passed | 78% | 94% | +16% |
| Iterations | 4 | 2 | -50% |
| Files Changed | 17 | 9 | -47% |
| Time to Finish | 6m 12s | 3m 40s | -41% |
| Token Usage | 28k | 18k | -36% |
Do not take the benchmark on faith - measure CodeLedger on your own repo:
codeledger compare \
--scenario .codeledger/harness/scenarios/auth-rate-limit.json \ --guided
If CodeLedger improves your coding-agent workflow, star the repo to follow releases and help other developers discover it.
.codeledger/active-bundle.md for your coding agent.Same task plus same repo state produces the same file ranking behavior.
For the full command surface, see the CLI Reference.
Claude Code can use CodeLedger hooks after codeledger ready initializes the repo. Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, Windsurf, and other agents can read CLAUDE.md plus .codeledger/active-bundle.md, or use the repo-local wrappers when available.
CodeLedger also includes an MCP server for supported tiers:
codeledger mcp start
codeledger mcp status
See MCP Server and Feature Tiers for setup and tier details.
SHA256SUMS and release-evidence artifacts.codeledger doctor checks the local install, hooks, config, index, and ledger health.LICENSE-CORE.npm install -g @codeledger/cli
codeledger --version
Or use the release zip:
install.sh.The installer uses the bundled package from the zip, so the installed wrapper version matches the release. The wrapper then fetches the matching hardened binary from the GitHub release unless your environment already provides it.
cd your-project
codeledger ready codeledger ready --task "Fix null handling in user service"
Inside an initialized repo, you can also use:
codeledger activate --task "Fix null handling in user service"
codeledger doctor
Browser, cloud, and sandboxed environments can use the repo-local runtime deployed under .codeledger/bin/ after initialization or vendoring.
CodeLedger has an open public surface and a protected hardened runtime:
PUBLIC: CLI wrapper, types, repo scanner, harness, reports, docs, hooks
PROTECTED: Scoring engine, selection algorithm, confidence internals
Use codeledger about, codeledger doctor, and command-specific --explain output to inspect behavior and evidence without exposing protected implementation internals.
GitHub may classify the combined licensing structure as "Other" because the repo includes both MIT-covered public files and separately licensed protected runtime terms. Changing the license files should be a human legal decision.
CodeLedger applies Intelligent Context AI's context-control architecture to software engineering. For enterprise-wide governed context across applications and agents, see ContextECF.
CodeLedger is produced by Intelligent Context AI, Inc. See codeledger.dev.
