Implementation Reference
- server.js:1135-1180 (handler)Core handler function that executes Git commands to retrieve repository context: branch, recent commits, status, and optional diff using child_process.
async getGitContext(includeDiff, commitCount) { const { exec } = await import('child_process'); const { promisify } = await import('util'); const execAsync = promisify(exec); let gitContext = '# Git Context\n\n'; try { // Check if it's a git repository await execAsync('git rev-parse --git-dir', { cwd: this.workingDirectory }); // Get current branch const { stdout: branch } = await execAsync('git branch --show-current', { cwd: this.workingDirectory }); gitContext += `**Current Branch:** ${branch.trim()}\n\n`; // Get recent commits const { stdout: commits } = await execAsync( `git log --oneline -${commitCount}`, { cwd: this.workingDirectory } ); gitContext += `**Recent Commits:**\n\`\`\`\n${commits}\`\`\`\n\n`; // Get status const { stdout: status } = await execAsync('git status --porcelain', { cwd: this.workingDirectory }); if (status.trim()) { gitContext += `**Working Directory Status:**\n\`\`\`\n${status}\`\`\`\n\n`; } // Get diff if requested if (includeDiff) { try { const { stdout: diff } = await execAsync('git diff HEAD', { cwd: this.workingDirectory }); if (diff.trim()) { gitContext += `**Current Changes:**\n\`\`\`diff\n${diff.slice(0, 2000)}${diff.length > 2000 ? '\n... (truncated)' : ''}\n\`\`\`\n\n`; } } catch (error) { // No diff available } } } catch (error) { gitContext += 'Not a Git repository or Git not available.\n'; } return gitContext; } - server.js:935-947 (handler)Tool handler wrapper that parses arguments and delegates to getGitContext method, returning formatted response.
async handleGetGitContext(args) { const { include_diff = true, commit_count = 10 } = args; const gitContext = await this.getGitContext(include_diff, commit_count); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: gitContext, }, ], }; } - server.js:157-175 (schema)Input schema definition and tool registration in the list of available tools.
