mcp-git

MCP server for git operations over stdio, scoped to current working directory.

Tools

Tool	Description
git_clone	Clone a repo using token auth

git_add	Stage files for commit
git_commit	Create a conventional commit
git_push	Push a branch to origin (default: the checked-out branch)
git_pull	Pull from origin/main
git_log	Show recent commit history
git_diff	Show working tree or staged diff
git_branch	List or create branches
git_checkout	Switch branches

Build

go build -o mcp-git .

Usage

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-git": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-git"
    }
  }
}

The server communicates over stdio using the MCP protocol. All repo paths are resolved relative to the current working directory, or as absolute paths.

Protected branches

git_push refuses branches listed in the repo's git config, e.g. a main that only takes PRs:

git config --add mcp-git.protected main

Pushes always use an explicit refspec (refs/heads/<branch>:refs/heads/<branch>), so push.default never pushes other branches along.
