A Model Context Protocol server for Git repository interaction and automation. This server provides tools to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories via Large Language Models.

Please note that mcp-git is currently in early development. The functionality and available tools are subject to change and expansion as we continue to develop and improve the server.

Available Tools

The current list of tools includes:

git_read_file: Read contents of a file at a specific Git reference
git_list_files: List all files in a repository or subdirectory
git_file_history: Get commit history for a specific file
git_commit: Create Git commits with messages and specified files
git_search_code: Search repository content with pattern matching
git_get_diff: View diffs between Git references
git_get_repo_structure: View repository file structure
git_list_repos: List available Git repositories
git_log: Retrieve commit log for the repository
git_list_branches: List all branches in the repository
git_list_tags: List all tags in the repository

This list is expected to grow as we add more functionality to the server. We welcome contributions from the community to expand and enhance the available tools.

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run mcp-git.

Using PIP

Alternatively you can install mcp-git via pip:

pip install mcp-git

After installation, you can run it as a script using:

python -m mcp_git

Configuration

Configure for Claude.app

Add to your Claude settings:

"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-git": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-git", "--repository", "path/to/git/repo"]
  }
}

Alternatively, if using pip installation:

"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-git": {
    "command": "python",
    "args": ["-m", "mcp_git", "--repository", "path/to/git/repo"]
  }
}

Configure for Zed

Add to your Zed settings.json:

"context_servers": [
  "mcp-git": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-git"]
  }
],

Alternatively, if using pip installation:

"context_servers": {
  "mcp-git": {
    "command": "python",
    "args": ["-m", "mcp-git"]
  }
},
