Git Integration MCP Servers
Git MCP servers provide interfaces for LLMs to interact with Git version control systems. These servers enable AI models to manage repositories, handle version control operations, and assist with code management tasks.
Core Components
Git Operation Server
class GitServer extends MCPServer {
capabilities = {
tools: {
'commit': async (params) => {
// Create new commits
},
'branch': async (params) => {
// Manage branches
},
'merge': async (params) => {
// Handle merge operations
}
},
resources: {
'status': async () => {
// Get repository status
}
}
}
}
Implementation Examples
Repository Management
class RepoManager extends MCPServer {
async initialize() {
return {
tools: {
'clone': this.cloneRepository,
'push': this.pushChanges,
'pull': this.pullChanges
}
};
}
private async cloneRepository({ url, branch }) {
// Implement repository cloning
}
}
Configuration Options
git:
defaultBranch: "main"
signCommits: true
verifySSL: true
auth:
type: "ssh" # or https
credentials: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
username: "git"
