git-mcp

License: MIT Node

Domain-neutral git utility service packaged for Model Context Protocol (MCP) agents. It exposes REST endpoints for repository status, diffs, and commits while enforcing a configurable root allowlist.

Features

/health endpoint reporting configured root directories.
/v1/git/status returning branch, upstream, ahead/behind counts, and per-file codes.
/v1/git/diff streaming raw git diff output for a ref.
Additional helpers for commit operations (extendable by downstream projects).

Installation

pnpm install git-mcp # or npm install git-mcp

Usage

import { createApp } from "git-mcp"; const app = createApp(); app.listen({ host: "127.0.0.1", port: 8787 });

Set MCP_GIT_ROOTS to a colon-separated list of allowed directories (defaults to process.cwd()).

Development

pnpm install pnpm run lint pnpm run test pnpm run build
