explain_change

MCP tool from Memex by STiFLeR7

Given a commit SHA, cross-references the diff with linked Decision/Problem nodes and asks Gemini Pro for a grounded explanation

How to use it

Project documentation lists explain_change for the Memex MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

Install Memex
