Git Conflict MCP

by mattyatea

init_project

Set up the Git Conflict MCP environment by specifying the project root directory path to enable conflict detection and resolution workflows.

Instructions

Initialize the project by setting the root directory path. This must be the first tool called to set up the environment.

pathYesAbsolute path to the git project root.

Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the init_project tool. It validates the provided path as a directory, sets the project path in the state, and returns a success or error message.
    async ({ path: p }) => {
        try {
            const stats = await fs.stat(p);
            if (!stats.isDirectory()) {
                return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Path is not a directory." }], isError: true };
            }
            state.setProjectPath(p);
            return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `initialized at ${p}` }] };
        } catch (e) {
            return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Invalid path: ${e}` }], isError: true };
        }
    }
  • Zod input schema defining the required 'path' parameter as a string with description.
    inputSchema: z.object({
        path: z.string().describe("Absolute path to the git project root."),
    }),
  • The registerInitProject function that registers the 'init_project' tool with the MCP server, including its name, description, schema, and handler.
    export function registerInitProject(server: McpServer) {
        server.registerTool(
            "init_project",
            {
                description: "Initialize the project by setting the root directory path. This must be the first tool called to set up the environment.",
                inputSchema: z.object({
                    path: z.string().describe("Absolute path to the git project root."),
                }),
            },
            async ({ path: p }) => {
                try {
                    const stats = await fs.stat(p);
                    if (!stats.isDirectory()) {
                        return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Path is not a directory." }], isError: true };
                    }
                    state.setProjectPath(p);
                    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `initialized at ${p}` }] };
                } catch (e) {
                    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Invalid path: ${e}` }], isError: true };
                }
            }
        );
    }
  • Invocation of registerInitProject within the registerTools function to register the init_project tool.
    registerInitProject(server);
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool initializes the project and sets the root directory path, but lacks details on behavioral traits such as what happens if called multiple times, whether it validates the path, if it creates directories, or what the environment setup entails. This is a significant gap for a setup tool with no annotation coverage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and followed by usage guidance. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words, making it highly efficient and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (setup operation with one parameter), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It covers purpose and usage well but lacks details on behavior, error handling, or return values, which are important for a setup tool. It meets minimum viability but has clear gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the 'path' parameter as an absolute path to the git project root. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Initialize the project by setting the root directory path.' It specifies the verb ('Initialize') and resource ('project'), and while it doesn't explicitly distinguish from siblings, the purpose is distinct enough from conflict-related tools. However, it doesn't fully differentiate from potential setup alternatives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit usage guidance: 'This must be the first tool called to set up the environment.' This clearly indicates when to use it (first, for setup) and implies when not to use it (after initialization or for other purposes). No alternatives are named, but the context is unambiguous.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
