Integrations

  • Provides tools for Git repository operations including browsing directory structures, reading files, searching code, comparing branches, viewing commit history, and checking local changes.

  • Enables browsing and analyzing GitHub repositories, including retrieving file contents, searching code, and examining commit history across branches.

  • Integrates with GitHub Actions for CI/CD workflows, specifically for automating npm package publishing when changes are pushed to the master branch.

MCP Git Repo Browser (Node.js)

A Node.js implementation of a Git repository browser using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Installation

npm install -g git-commands-mcp

Manual Installation

git clone https://github.com/bsreeram08/git-commands-mcp.git cd git-commands-mcp npm install

Configuration

Add this to your MCP settings configuration file:

{ "mcpServers": { "git-commands-mcp": { "command": "git-commands-mcp" } } }

For manual installation, use:

{ "mcpServers": { "git-commands-mcp": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/git-commands-mcp/src/index.js"] } } }

Features

The server provides the following tools:

Basic Repository Operations

  1. git_directory_structure: Returns a tree-like representation of a repository's directory structure
    • Input: Repository URL
    • Output: ASCII tree representation of the repository structure
  2. git_read_files: Reads and returns the contents of specified files in a repository
    • Input: Repository URL and list of file paths
    • Output: Dictionary mapping file paths to their contents
  3. git_search_code: Searches for patterns in repository code
    • Input: Repository URL, search pattern, optional file patterns, case sensitivity, and context lines
    • Output: JSON with search results including matching lines and context

Branch Operations

  1. git_branch_diff: Compare two branches and show files changed between them
    • Input: Repository URL, source branch, target branch, and optional show_patch flag
    • Output: JSON with commit count and diff summary

Commit Operations

  1. git_commit_history: Get commit history for a branch with optional filtering
    • Input: Repository URL, branch name, max count, author filter, since date, until date, and message grep
    • Output: JSON with commit details
  2. git_commits_details: Get detailed information about commits including full messages and diffs
    • Input: Repository URL, branch name, max count, include_diff flag, author filter, since date, until date, and message grep
    • Output: JSON with detailed commit information
  3. git_local_changes: Get uncommitted changes in the working directory
    • Input: Local repository path
    • Output: JSON with status information and diffs

Implementation Details

  • Uses Node.js native modules (crypto, path, os) for core functionality
  • Leverages fs-extra for enhanced file operations
  • Uses simple-git for Git repository operations
  • Implements clean error handling and resource cleanup
  • Creates deterministic temporary directories based on repository URL hashes
  • Reuses cloned repositories when possible for efficiency
  • Modular code structure for better maintainability

Requirements

  • Node.js 14.x or higher
  • Git installed on the system

Usage

If installed globally via npm:

git-commands-mcp

If installed manually:

node src/index.js

The server runs on stdio, making it compatible with MCP clients.

CI/CD

This project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment:

Automatic NPM Publishing

The repository is configured with a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically publishes the package to npm when changes are pushed to the master branch.

Setting up NPM_AUTOMATION_TOKEN

To enable automatic publishing, you need to add an npm Automation token as a GitHub secret (this works even with accounts that have 2FA enabled):

  1. Generate an npm Automation token:
    • Log in to your npm account on npmjs.com
    • Go to your profile settings
    • Select "Access Tokens"
    • Click "Generate New Token"
    • Select "Automation" token type
    • Set the appropriate permissions (needs "Read and write" for packages)
    • Copy the generated token
  2. Add the token to your GitHub repository:
    • Go to your GitHub repository
    • Navigate to "Settings" > "Secrets and variables" > "Actions"
    • Click "New repository secret"
    • Name: NPM_AUTOMATION_TOKEN
    • Value: Paste your npm Automation token
    • Click "Add secret"

Once configured, any push to the master branch will trigger the workflow to publish the package to npm.
