How do I install the git mcp v2 mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `GIT_DEFAULT_PATH`, `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

Tag Operations — list, create, delete
Remote Management — list, add, remove
Stash Operations — list, save, pop
Bulk Actions — Execute multiple Git operations in sequence
