AI Changelog Generator system requirements

Last updated: May 15, 2026

The AI Changelog Generator automatically generates database changelogs using your AI agent through an MCP server integration. You'll need an active Liquibase Secure subscription to use it. See the requirements below for a complete list of what's needed.

Required

Liquibase Secure subscription
One of the following MCP-compatible AI agents:
- VS Code with GitHub Copilot
- Claude Code

Installation Methods

Choose one of the following:

Docker: Run the MCP server as a containerized image. Database drivers are pre-installed.
Standalone JAR: Run the application directly. You'll need to install database drivers for your platform.

Configuration

The following environment variables can be configured as needed depending on the desired output format. Learn more here: Switch between output formats in the Liquibase AI Changelog Generator

Variable	Default	When to set
LIQUIBASE_MCP_OUTPUT_FORMAT	xml	xml is the default, so there is no action needed. Leave it as the default if you prefer a structured format optimized for Liquibase processing.
LIQUIBASE_MCP_SQL_DATABASE	postgresql	Set to formatted-sql to generate formatted SQL output instead of XML if you prefer human-readable and editable output. It's impoet to your target database if not using PostgreSQL
LIQUIBASE_MCP_DISABLE_VALIDATION	validation enabled	Set to `true` to disable automatic validation for faster responses
LIQUIBASE_MCP_INCLUDE_ROLLBACK	rollbacks disabled	Set to `true` to generate explicit rollback SQL blocks. By default, rollbacks rely on Liquibase's automatic rollback capabilities.
