Integrations

  • Provides tools to browse Git repositories, including retrieving directory structures as ASCII trees and reading specified file contents from repositories accessed via URL.

  • Implements Git repository browsing functionality in Node.js, allowing for efficient cloning and exploration of repositories through a standardized interface.

MCP Git Repo Browser (Node.js)

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

Configuration

Add this to your MCP settings configuration file:

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

Features

The server provides two main tools:

  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_important_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

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

Requirements

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

Installation

git clone <repository-url> cd mcp-git-repo-browser npm install

Usage

Start the server:

node src/index.js

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