Git MCP Server

What it does

Git MCP Server gives AI agents complete control over Git repositories. From cloning and staging to rebasing, worktree management, and tag releases — all 28 Git operations are available as MCP tools. Works over STDIO for local clients or Streamable HTTP for hosted deployments including Cloudflare Workers.

Tools

• git_init / git_clone — Create or clone repositories
• git_status / git_clean — Inspect and clean working trees
• git_add / git_commit / git_diff — Stage and commit changes
• git_log / git_show / git_blame / git_reflog — Browse history and trace authorship
• git_branch / git_checkout / git_merge / git_rebase / git_cherry_pick — Branch and merge workflows
• git_remote / git_fetch / git_pull / git_push — Sync with remotes
• git_tag / git_stash / git_reset / git_worktree — Advanced state management
• git_changelog_analyze — LLM-driven changelog generation
• git_set_working_dir / git_clear_working_dir — Per-session directory context

Also exposes one resource (git://working-directory) and a Git Wrap-up prompt for structured session closeout.
