PR Viewer MCP Server
This server supports local Git development workflows with the following tools:
health_check: Confirm the server is running and reachable.open_review: Launch an external diff visualizer to compare changes between two Git refs in a given repository. The server blocks until the user accepts or rejects the changes, returning"accepted"or"rejected".repo_path(required): Absolute path to the Git repository.base_ref(optional, defaults tomain) andhead_ref(optional, defaults toHEAD): The refs to compare.
Provides tools for reviewing pull requests by launching a diff visualizer against a git repository and returning the review decision (accepted/rejected).
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@PR Viewer MCP ServerReview the diff between main and feature/add-greet in the current repo."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Dev MCP Server
MCP server for local development workflows. Tools for branching and diff review, designed to be called by AI coding assistants.
Setup
uv sync --group devRelated MCP server: Git Code Review MCP
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Confirms the server is reachable. |
| Checks the working tree is clean, then creates a new branch. |
| Launches a diff visualizer and blocks until the user accepts or rejects. |
open_branch
Parameter | Default | Description |
| — | Absolute path to a git repo. |
| — | Name for the new branch. |
|
| Ref to branch from. |
Returns "Created branch '<name>' from <base_ref>" on success, or an error
string describing why it failed (dirty tree, branch already exists, bad ref).
open_review
Parameter | Default | Description |
| — | Absolute path to a git repo. |
|
| The base git ref (e.g. |
|
| The head ref to diff against base (branch name, commit SHA, etc.). |
Blocks until the user finishes reviewing. Returns "accepted" or "rejected".
Wiring in a visualizer
Create a shell script that receives the repo context via env vars, launches the visualizer, captures the user's decision, and signals the result back to the server via the provided IPC path:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Env vars provided by the server:
# REPO_PATH – absolute path to the git repo
# BASE_REF – base ref (e.g. main)
# HEAD_REF – head ref (e.g. feature/add-greet)
# RESULT_PATH – IPC path the script writes "accepted" or "rejected" to
# launch your visualizer, capture the decision, then signal the result:
echo "accepted" > "$RESULT_PATH"The default visualizer (scripts/launch-octorus.sh) opens octorus in a new
terminal window and prompts accept/reject after the user quits.

Claude Code
Add to ~/.claude/mcp.json (global) or .mcp.json at a project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"devflow": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/pr-viewer", "devflow-mcp"]
}
}
}OpenCode
opencode mcp add pr-viewerFollow the prompts: choose stdio, set command to uv, args to
run --directory /path/to/pr-viewer devflow-mcp. This writes to
~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc.
Codex
codex mcp add pr-viewer -- uv run --directory /path/to/pr-viewer devflow-mcpThis writes to ~/.codex/config.toml.
Example prompts
Create a branch called feature/add-login in /path/to/repo from main.Open a review of feature/add-greet in /path/to/repo against main.
If it's accepted, merge it with `gh pr merge --merge`.
If it's rejected, post a comment explaining what needs to change.Manual end-to-end test with a toy repo
1. Create the toy repo
./scripts/setup-toy-repo.shCreates ./toy-repo/ with a main branch and a feature/add-greet branch.
To remove it when done:
./scripts/teardown-toy-repo.sh2. Start the MCP inspector
uv run mcp dev src/devflow_mcp/server.pyOpen the inspector URL printed in the terminal (default: http://localhost:5173).
3. Test open_branch
In the MCP inspector, select open_branch and fill in:
{
"repo_path": "<absolute-path-to-project>/toy-repo",
"branch_name": "test-branch"
}4. Test open_review
Select open_review and fill in:
{
"repo_path": "<absolute-path-to-project>/toy-repo",
"base_ref": "main",
"head_ref": "feature/add-greet"
}The tool blocks — the inspector shows a spinner until the review is complete. A terminal window opens automatically; answer the accept/reject prompt when you quit octorus.
