# Tidewave MCP Integration
Runtime intelligence for Phoenix apps via MCP. Prefer Tidewave tools over Bash when available.
## Iron Laws — Never Violate These
1. **DEV ONLY** — Never use Tidewave tools in production contexts. Avoid on shared dev servers with production data copies
2. **PREFER TIDEWAVE OVER BASH** — `mcp__tidewave__get_docs` > `web_fetch`, `execute_sql_query` > `psql`
3. **CHECK AVAILABILITY FIRST** — Use `/mcp` command or detect `mcp__tidewave__` tools
4. **SQL IS READ-HEAVY** — Use `execute_sql_query` for SELECT, be careful with mutations
5. **EXACT VERSIONS** — `get_docs` returns docs for YOUR mix.lock versions, not latest
## Quick Reference
| Task | Tidewave Tool | Fallback |

| Get docs | `mcp__tidewave__get_docs Module.func/3` | `web_fetch hexdocs.pm/...` |
| Run code | `mcp__tidewave__project_eval` | `mix run -e "code"` |… load the full skill through Skill Me
