What is the Git MCP Server?

A Git MCP server that doesn't suck

The short version

Exposes the full Git workflow to any MCP-compatible AI agent — inspect, write, branch, remote, stash, rebase, LFS, git-flow, documentation lookup, and more. Designed to be safe by default, composable, and fast. Powered by simple-git.

  • 11 grouped tools with 60+ actions — covering everyday Git workflows and advanced recovery operations
  • Safety-first — — destructive operations require explicit confirmation; force push and hook bypass are opt-in via server config
  • GPG/SSH signing — for commits and tags, with server-level auto-sign support
  • Git LFS — — track patterns, manage objects, install hooks, migrate history
  • Git Flow — — git-flow-next-style workflow support with preset init, overview, config CRUD, generalized topic actions, finish recovery, optional hook/filter parity, and classic feature/release/hotfix/support aliases, without requiring the external CLI
  • Documentation lookup — — search git-scm.com and fetch man pages directly from the LLM
