@mcpx-digital/git-changelog

MCP server that turns local git log into release notes and CHANGELOG drafts.

Generate conventional-commit–grouped release notes between tags/commits, inspect commit groups, and write a CHANGELOG.md draft — from Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client.

Local git only. This server reads your local repository via git log. It does not push, force-push, scrape remotes, or rewrite history. Use only on repos you own or have permission to inspect.

Install (MCPX / npx)

npx -y @mcpx-digital/git-changelog

Publish note: Prepared for npm as @mcpx-digital/git-changelog. Until published, run from a local clone.

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation3/5

    There is meaningful overlap: group_conventional_commits, generate_release_notes, and write_changelog_draft all derive output from the same conventional-commit git history. However, the descriptions clarify the intended boundaries: low-level listing, markdown release notes output, and writing a CHANGELOG.md draft.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow the same snake_case verb_noun pattern: group_conventional_commits, generate_release_notes, and write_changelog_draft. This is fully predictable and consistent.

    Tool Count5/5

    Three tools is a well-scoped size for a dedicated git changelog server. Each name corresponds to a distinct output stage, and there is no bloat or unnecessary expansion.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers the core changelog workflow: grouping commits, generating release notes, and writing a draft changelog file. A minor gap is that there is no obvious tool for updating or appending to an existing CHANGELOG.md, but this is not a critical omission for draft-oriented usage.
