You run a lightweight MCP server that integrates with Git repositories to produce a concise, structured digest of code. It ingests repository data, analyzes files, and returns a summary, a tree-like file structure, and content suitable for feeding AI assistants or other automation workflows.

How to use

You connect an MCP client to the gitingest MCP Server, then invoke its ingestion tool to analyze a Git repository or local directory. The server returns a structured digest that includes a repository summary, the file tree, and the repository’s file contents. Use this to provide AI agents with context about a codebase, enabling tasks like summarization, search, or selective content retrieval.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing: a supported runtime (Node or Python tooling as described below) and internet access to fetch the MCP server packages.

Step 1: Install or prepare the MCP runner you will use to start the server.

Step 2: Install the MCP server using one of the provided options.
