You can run a lightweight MCP server that exposes reusable house rules as prompts and automatically fetches Git context for your projects. This setup lets your AI assistants stay within your chosen workflow while having instant access to consistent behavior and repository context.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the house_rules server via a local process, then apply the reusable prompt to guide the assistant. Use the git_context tool to fetch repository context so the assistant can reason about branches, recent commits, and changes without you re-typing basic details.

Typical usage flow:

Discover house_rules in your MCP client and apply it to a conversation
Optionally pass a mode to tailor behavior (for example, review, triage, or release-notes)
Call git_context to retrieve current branch, recent commits, and diffstat
Ask for a summary or checklist based on the context to proceed with your task

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and npm are installed on your system.

Install dependencies for the project

npm install

Build the TypeScript source to JavaScript

npm run build

Run the MCP server locally (stdio transport)

npm start

Additional notes and troubleshooting

Testing with MCP Inspector helps you verify that the server exposes the correct prompts and tools and that the connections work as expected.

If you need to verify the server standalone, you can check that it starts and logs to stderr indicating it is running.

Available tools

git_context

Executes a context-gathering operation that returns the current branch, recent commits (default 15), and latest diffstat for a given repository path.
