This MCP server enables Claude to perform Git version control operations directly through the Model Context Protocol, giving you convenient in-app access to status, diffs, staging, commits, branches, history, pushes, pulls, cloning, and repository initialization.

How to use

You interact with the MCP Git server through your MCP client to manage Git repositories from Claude. Use the available tools to check status, view changes, stage files, commit updates, manage branches, inspect history, and synchronize with remotes. The server exposes a straightforward set of commands that mirror common Git workflows, making it easy to perform routine source control tasks without leaving Claude.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are Node.js 18+ and Git installed and configured on your machine.

Step 1: Install the MCP server dependencies and prepare the runtime environment.

cd /Users/bard/Code/mcp-git
npm install

Step 2: Add the MCP server to Claude Desktop configuration so Claude can launch the server when needed.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/bard/Code/mcp-git/src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop to apply the new server configuration.

Additional setup and notes

The MCP Git server exposes a set of filesystem and Git operations that you can invoke from your MCP client. You will typically use it to initialize repositories, clone from remotes, check status, view diffs, stage changes, commit with messages, manage branches, push to and pull from remotes, and inspect commit history.
