Always confirm what you have installed with `mergeguide --version`, `npx @mergeguide/mcp-server --version`, and the Extensions view in your editor.

## Current release

The current MergeGuide surface includes:

* **CLI** — the `mergeguide` command, installed with `pip install mergeguide`
  (Python 3.11+). Top-level commands include `check`, `init`, `bootstrap`,
  `policies`, `completions`, `doctor`, `login`, `install`, and `verify-evidence`,
  plus the `auth`, `config`, `hooks`, `sbom`, and `scan` command groups. See the
  [CLI reference](/reference/cli).
* **MCP server** — `@mergeguide/mcp-server`, run with `npx @mergeguide/mcp-server`
  (Node 18+), so an AI assistant checks changes against your policies as it works.
  See [Install the MCP server](/install/mcp-server).
* **IDE extension** — the MergeGuide extension for VS Code and compatible editors,
  published under the identifier `MergeGuide.mergeguide-vscode`. See
  [Install the IDE extension](/install/ide-extension).
* **Scanners** — dependency vulnerability scanning (`scan vuln`) and IaC
  misconfiguration scanning (`scan iac`) for Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes,
  and Helm.
* **Evidence** — NIST OSCAL export (component definition, assessment results, POA\&M,
  catalog) and CycloneDX / SPDX SBOM generation, with signed-artifact verification
  via `verify-evidence`.
* **Integrations** — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.
