Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function implementing the git_create_branch tool logic using gitpython to create a new branch from a specified base branch or the current active branch.
    def git_create_branch(repo: git.Repo, branch_name: str, base_branch: str | None = None) -> str: if base_branch: base = repo.refs[base_branch] else: base = repo.active_branch repo.create_head(branch_name, base) return f"Created branch '{branch_name}' from '{base.name}'"
  • Pydantic model defining the input schema for the git_create_branch tool, including repo_path, branch_name, and optional base_branch.
    class GitCreateBranch(BaseModel): repo_path: str branch_name: str base_branch: str | None = None
  • Registration of the git_create_branch tool in the MCP server's list_tools method, specifying name, description, and input schema.
    Tool( name=GitTools.CREATE_BRANCH, description="Creates a new branch from an optional base branch", inputSchema=GitCreateBranch.schema(), ),
  • Enum definition providing the string name 'git_create_branch' used for tool registration.
    CREATE_BRANCH = "git_create_branch"
