Install Liquibase Changelog MCP Server in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own value for YOUR_LIQUIBASE_LICENSE_KEY.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env LIQUIBASE_LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_LIQUIBASE_LICENSE_KEY --transport stdio changelog-mcp-server -- docker run -i --rm -e LIQUIBASE_LICENSE_KEY ghcr.io/liquibase/liquibase-mcp-changelog-server:1.0.0
  1. Replace YOUR_LIQUIBASE_LICENSE_KEY with your own value.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of changelog-mcp-server.

If it does not start

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
