Git Helper MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides git repository tools for Claude.

Features

This MCP provides the following tools:

get_status - Get current repository status (staged, unstaged, untracked files)
list_branches - List all branches with current branch highlighted
get_commit_history - View recent commits with messages and authors
get_branch_info - Get detailed info about current or specific branch
get_diff - Show changes (staged or unstaged)

Installation

Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:
python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt
Test the server:
python server.py

Configuration for Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP settings file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "git-helper": { "command": "/Users/prateek/Code/claude/git-helper-mcp/venv/bin/python", "args": ["/Users/prateek/Code/claude/git-helper-mcp/server.py"] } } }

After adding, restart Claude Desktop.

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

"What's the status of my git repository?"
"Show me the recent commit history"
"List all branches"
"What branch am I on?"
"Show me the unstaged changes"
"What's in my staging area?"

How It Works

The MCP server runs as a separate process and communicates with Claude via stdio. When you ask git-related questions, Claude can call these tools to get real-time information from your git repository.
