Download and install Claude Desktop
Configure Claude Desktop:
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to File > Settings > Developer > Edit Config
- Add the following configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "GIT-Pilot": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "path\\to\\repo",
                "run",
                "main.py"
