The Gitingest MCP Server integrates with AI assistants via Model Context Protocol (MCP) to analyze and ingest Git repositories into a structured text format.
Repository Analysis: Analyzes repositories from URLs or local paths, providing codebase insights
Flexible Filtering: Supports filtering by file size (
max_file_size), patterns (include_patterns,exclude_patterns), and specific branchesStructured Output: Returns repository summaries, file tree structures, and content in an AI-friendly format
Multiple Installation Options: Available via PyPI, GitHub, or local installation with configurable settings
Analyzes Git repositories and transforms them into structured text digests, supporting filtering by file size, patterns, and branches to help AI assistants understand codebases.
Enables ingestion of GitHub repositories, extracting repository summaries, file structures, and content to provide comprehensive codebase insights.
Supports installation through PyPI, allowing the server to be easily integrated with AI assistants via package management.
