Review staged changes - View differences between staged files and HEAD
Extract commit history - Retrieve commit messages between any ancestor and HEAD
Generate PR descriptions - Automatically create pull request descriptions based on diffs and commit history
Filter diff output - Exclude specific files and directories using pattern matching
Flexible output formats - View results in JSON or text format
Environment-based configuration - Configure repository path, excludes, and output format via environment variables
MCP integration - Works with MCP-compatible clients like Zed editor through standardized tools and commands

Git Prompts MCP Server

Usage

As a MCP Server for Zed Editor

Add the following to your settings.json:

"context_servers": { "git_prompt_mcp": { "command": { "path": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/local/git_prompts_mcp_server", "run", "git-prompts-mcp-server", "/path/to/repo/", // parent folder of the .git directory "--excludes", // exclude files and directories from diff results "**/uv.lock", "--excludes", "**/.gitignore", "--format", // format for diff results "json" // options: json, text ] }, "settings": {} } }

Commands

The server responds to the following commands:

/git-diff <ancestor_branch_or_commit>: Populate the diff results between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.
/generate-pr-desc <ancestor_branch_or_commit>: Generate a pull request description based on the diff results between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.

Note: This is largely the same as /git-diff, but it includes instructions for generating a pull request description at the end of the output.

/git-cached-diff: Populate the diff results for the staged changes and HEAD.

Examples:

/generate-pr-desc main
/git-diff dev
/git-cached-diff
