Overview

What is Git?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for LLMs to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories. It enables automated repository interaction and version control operations through a standard MCP interface.

How to use Git?

Install with uvx mcp-server-git (no explicit install needed) or via pip install mcp-server-git. Add the server configuration to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Zed, or Zencoder) specifying the repository path with --repository. Run directly with python -m mcp_server_git if installed via pip.

Key features of Git

  • Show working tree status with git_status
  • View unstaged, staged, or branch/commit diffs
  • Stage and commit changes with git_add and git_commit
  • Create and switch branches with git_create_branch and git_checkout
  • List branches with flexible filtering via git_branch
  • View commit logs with optional date range filtering

Use cases of Git

  • Allow LLM agents to automatically stage and commit code changes
  • Enable code review by comparing branches or commits
  • Automate repository workflows like branch creation and checkout
  • Provide commit history analysis for debugging or reporting
  • Let non-technical users interact with git via natural language

FAQ from Git

What does this server do vs using git directly?

It wraps Git operations into MCP tools that LLMs can call programmatically, allowing automated repository interaction without manual command-line input.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python and either uv (recommended) or pip. For Docker usage, Docker must be installed, and directories are mounted as bind mounts for repository access.

How do I install it?

Use uvx mcp-server-git (no explicit install) or pip install mcp-server-git. For Docker, build with docker build -t mcp/git . from the source directory.

How can I debug the server?

Run the MCP inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-git. Or check Claude logs with tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log.

Is this stable?

The server is currently in early development; tools and functionality are subject to change and expansion.
