Usage with cline

To use mcp-server-svn as an MCP tool server in cline, add an entry to your cline configuration:

"svn": {
  "autoApprove": [
    "svn_status",
    "svn_diff",
    "svn_update",
    "svn_log",
    "svn_add",
    "svn_checkout"
  ],
  "timeout": 30,
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "/usr/bin/python3.11",
  "args": [
    "-m",
    "mcp_server_svn"
  ]
}

Adjust "command" as needed (e.g., "python3" or your virtualenv path). See the cline documentation for details.
