mcp-server-git: A git MCP server

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-server-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-server-git.

Using PIP

Alternatively you can install mcp-server-git via pip:

pip install mcp-server-git

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

python -m mcp_server_git

Configuration

Configure for Claude.app

Add to your Claude settings:

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

Alternatively, if using pip installation:

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

Configure for Zed

Add to your Zed settings.json:

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

Alternatively, if using pip installation:

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