Which integrations are available for this server?

Allows inspection of local Git repositories, including status, commit history, diffs, and repository structure. Enables interaction with GitHub API for managing issues, pull requests, and project boards, including creating issues with automatic project boarding and fetching merged PRs.

How do I use Git MCP Server?

1. Click on "Deploy Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Git MCP Server List the merged pull requests for this repository" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Git MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants the ability to inspect local Git repositories and interact with the GitHub API — reading commit history, diffs, file contents, issues, comments, pull requests, and project boards — all from a single, modular TypeScript server.

Tools

The server exposes 10 tools across four categories.

Git

Tool	Description
`get_git_status`	Returns all uncommitted changes in a local repository (equivalent to `git status`).
`get_git_log`	Retrieves recent commit history with hash, author, date, and message. Accepts a `maxCount` limit.
`get-git-diff`	Shows line-by-line file differences. Can be scoped to a specific file or limited to staged changes only.
`get_repo_structure`	Returns the full directory and file tree of a repository — useful for architectural overviews and documentation.

File System

Tool	Description
`read_local_file`	Reads the entire content of a small file at once. Ideal for source files and configs.
`read_local_file_chunk`	Reads a specific line range (`startLine`–`endLine`) from a large file, avoiding unnecessary context.

GitHub Issues

Tool	Description
`fetch_all_issues`	Fetches all issues (open and closed) from a remote GitHub repository.
`get_issue_comments`	Retrieves all comments on a specific issue by number, including author and timestamps.
`create_and_board_issue`	Creates a new issue with title, body, labels, assignees, and priority — then automatically adds it to the repository's GitHub Projects board. Handles multi-project repos by prompting for project selection.

GitHub Pull Requests

Tool	Description
`fetch_merged_prs`	Lists recent pull requests from a repository. Toggle between merged and open PRs with `isMerged`. Useful for generating changelogs and release notes.

Requirements

Node.js v18 or later
GitHub Personal Access Token with repo and project scopes

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/EnesOzturk11/Git-MCP-Server.git
cd Git-MCP-Server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

Configuration

The server reads a single environment variable:

Variable	Required	Description
`GITHUB_TOKEN`	Yes	Personal Access Token for GitHub API authentication

Create a .env file in the project root or export the variable in your shell:

GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/Git-MCP-Server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — the 10 tools will become available immediately.

B3.2/5.0

Scored 2026-08-09 22:50 across 10 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target clearly distinct resources or actions: log, status, diff, structure, file reading, issues, and PRs. Slight overlap exists between get_git_diff and get_git_status, but descriptions clarify the summary vs line-by-line difference. read_local_file and read_local_file_chunk are intentionally paired for whole vs chunk access.

Naming Consistency3/5

The majority follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_git_log, read_local_file, fetch_all_issues), but get-git-diff breaks the pattern with hyphens. Verbs also vary between get, read, fetch, and create, reducing predictability slightly.

Tool Count5/5

Ten tools is well-scoped for a Git-oriented server, covering repository inspection, file reading, issues, and PRs without unnecessary bloat. Each tool has a clear role, and the count feels appropriate for the described workflows.

Completeness3/5

The server covers common read-heavy operations well (log, status, diff, structure, files) and includes issue listing/creation and merged PR fetching. However, notable gaps exist for a full Git workflow: no single-issue retrieval, no issue update/close, no PR creation, and no branch or commit detail tools. Minor workarounds are possible for documentation tasks, but some dead ends occur.
