## Quick Start

1. **Clone and install**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/FradSer/mcp-server-git-cz.git
   cd mcp-server-git-cz
   uv venv && uv pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

2. **Configure environment**:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API keys
   ```

3. **Run the server**:
   ```bash
   uv run mcp-server-git-cz
   ```

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- [Python 3.10+](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) package manager

### Step-by-step Installation

1. **Clone the repository**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/FradSer/mcp-server-git-cz.git
   cd mcp-server-git-cz
   ```

2. **Create virtual environment and install dependencies**:
   ```bash
   uv venv
   uv pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. **Set up environment variables**:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```

   Edit `.env` file:
   ```env
   DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_deepseek_api_key
   GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key
   LLM_PROVIDER=deepseek  # or groq
   ```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
|----------|-------------|---------|----------|
| `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` | DeepSeek API key | - | Yes (if using DeepSeek) |
| `GROQ_API_KEY` | Groq API key | - | Yes (if using Groq) |
| `LLM_PROVIDER` | LLM provider to use | `deepseek` | No |

### Transport Options

The server supports multiple transport methods:

```bash
# STDIO transport (recommended)
uv run mcp-server-git-cz

# SSE transport
uv run mcp-server-git-cz --transport sse --port 8000
```

## Usage

The server exposes a single tool: `generate_commit_message` that analyzes your git diff and generates conventional commit messages.

### Basic Example

```python
import asyncio
from mcp.client.session import ClientSession
from mcp.client.stdio import StdioServerParameters, stdio_client

async def main():
    async with stdio_client(
        StdioServerParameters(command="uv", args=["run", "mcp-server-git-cz"])
    ) as (read, write):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            
            # Generate commit message
            result = await session.call_tool("generate_commit_message", {})
            print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
```

## MCP Client Setup

> **Note**: Replace `/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz` with your actual project directory path in all configurations below.

### Claude Code

```bash
# Project scope (recommended for teams)
claude mcp add git-cz -s project -- uv run --python /path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python -m mcp_server_git_cz

# User scope (personal use)
claude mcp add git-cz -s user -- uv run --python /path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python -m mcp_server_git_cz
```

### Cursor

Add to Cursor settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-cz": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--python", "/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python", "-m", "mcp_server_git_cz"],
      "env": {},
      "transport": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

Add to `~/.gemini/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-cz": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--python", "/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python", "-m", "mcp_server_git_cz"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

### Finding Your Paths

1. **Get virtual environment path**:
   ```bash
   cd mcp-server-git-cz
   uv venv
   which python  # Copy this path
   ```

2. **Get project directory**:
   ```bash
   pwd  # Copy this path
   ```

3. **Update configurations** with your actual paths

### Advanced Configuration

#### With Environment Variables
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-cz": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--python", "/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python", "-m", "mcp_server_git_cz"],
      "env": {
        "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY": "your_key_here",
        "LLM_PROVIDER": "deepseek"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### With Working Directory
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-cz": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--python", "/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python", "-m", "mcp_server_git_cz"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/mcp-server-git-cz",
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

## Examples

### Using with MCP Clients

Once configured, you can interact with the tool using natural language:

- *"Generate a commit message for my current changes"*
- *"Create a conventional commit message based on my git diff"*
- *"Help me write a commit message following conventional commits"*

The server will:
1. Analyze your current git diff
2. Generate a conventional commit message using AI
3. Return the formatted message for review

### Example Output

```
feat(auth): add OAuth2 integration with GitHub

- Implement OAuth2 authentication flow
- Add GitHub provider configuration
- Update user model to support external auth
- Add tests for authentication endpoints

Closes #123
```

TDQS

B3.3/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined and distinct by default.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name follows a clear verb_noun pattern (generate_commit_message), which is consistent and predictable. There are no other tools to compare against, so no inconsistency exists.

Tool Count2/5

One tool is too few for a server's purpose, as it limits functionality and suggests a narrow scope that might not support complex workflows. Typically, a well-scoped server would have 3-15 tools to cover a domain adequately.

Completeness2/5

The server is severely incomplete for generating commit messages, as it only offers generation without supporting operations like customization, validation, history management, or integration with other git tasks. This creates significant gaps for agent workflows.
