Selvedge is an MCP server that captures structured reasoning from AI coding agents as they make changes, providing a persistent 'why' log for codebases alongside git's 'what' and 'when'. It addresses a real pain point for teams maintaining AI-generated code by preserving agent context that would otherwise be lost, and its clean integration with existing tools and workflows makes it a practical and forward-looking solution.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
