git-mcp-server

This MCP server gives your AI assistant direct access to Git operations: commits, branches, diffs, logs, and file history. Your assistant can inspect repo state, compare branches, and read commit history without you running commands.

Community-maintained and works with any Git repo on your local machine. No API keys, no remote service, just point it at a repo. Setup is one config entry with a path to your repository.

Install this if you want your AI assistant to understand your repo's history and current state. Useful for code review workflows and understanding unfamiliar codebases. The catch: local repos only, and write operations (commits, merges) need careful permission scoping to avoid accidents.
