View status, diffs, and logs
Read and search commit history

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "Git" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-git",
        "--repository",
        "/path/to/repo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add git -- uvx mcp-server-git --repository /path/to/repo

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-git",
        "--repository",
        "/path/to/repo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Description

The reference Git MCP server. It lets an agent inspect and operate on a local Git repository: view status and diffs, read commit history, search content, create branches, stage changes, and commit. Useful for code-aware assistants working directly against a repo.
