A Python-based MCP server from the official modelcontextprotocol/servers collection that exposes Git operations — status, diffs, staging, commits, branch creation, and log inspection — as model tools. It drives a local checkout through the git binary, so Claude can read and manipulate repo state without shell access. Use it for commit hygiene, change review, and history archaeology inside your working tree.

What it does

  • Full git toolset: status, diff (staged/unstaged/branch), commit, add, reset, log, branch, checkout, show
  • Python server (`mcp-server-git`), runs via uvx — pass --repository to scope it to one repo
  • git_log accepts ISO dates, relative dates ('2 weeks ago') and absolute dates

When to use it

Gives Claude a structured way to read history, diff branches, and stage/commit — safer than raw shell because every op is an explicit tool call you can see in the transcript.

Getting started

Add to .mcp.json under mcpServers.git:

{
  "command": "uvx",
  "args": ["mcp-server-git", "--repository", "/path/to/repo"]
}

Git itself must be installed and on PATH.

Things to know

Marked 'early development' upstream — the toolset is subject to change. Requires MCP Python SDK 1.x. Commits created through it are real commits: keep them on a branch or worktree if you want a review gate.
