Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides structured access to local Git repositories, enabling operations such as checking repository status, viewing filtered commit logs, generating unified diffs for working trees or between refs, running file blame with line ranges, listing and managing branches with tracking info, and handling stashes (list, push, pop, apply). Provides access to the GitHub API for managing pull requests (listing with filters, viewing detailed PR information with reviews and comments, creating PRs with reviewers and labels) and issues (listing, creating, and updating). Allows listing and monitoring of recent GitHub Actions workflow runs with filtering by workflow and status.

Mooring — Git & GitHub MCP Server

License: MIT

Mooring lines for your code — Git and GitHub operations for AI tools.

Mooring is an MCP server that gives AI assistants structured access to local Git repositories and the GitHub API. Local operations use GitPython (no subprocess calls). GitHub operations use the PyGithub library with token masking and rate limit handling built in.

Installation

# PyPI
pip install mooring-mcp

# Isolated install
pipx install mooring-mcp

Usage

Run the server directly:

mooring

Claude Code

claude mcp add mooring -- mooring

Claude Desktop

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mooring": {
      "command": "mooring",
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your-github-personal-access-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

The GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is required for all GitHub tools (gh_*). Local Git tools work without it.

Security

Path traversal protection — file paths are resolved and validated against the repository root before any operation
Symlink escape detection — symlinks that resolve outside the repository are rejected
Ref validation — Git refs are checked against a safe character pattern and verified to exist before use
Token masking — error messages are scrubbed for GitHub token patterns (ghp_*, gho_*, github_pat_*) before being returned
Rate limit handling — GitHub 403 responses are caught and surfaced as clear messages instead of raw exceptions

Development

git clone https://github.com/seayniclabs/mooring.git
cd mooring
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[test]"
python -m pytest tests/ -q
