What is the Git Mob MCP server?

If you want an AI assistant working directly with Git Mob, the git mob mcp server is the bridge. MCP Server for git-mob CLI app.

What Git Mob does

Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for git mob CLI app

Key capabilities

  • Setup git mob CLI
  • Add / delete / list team members
  • Choose team members for pairing / mobbing session
  • Automatic appending of Co-authored-by in for co-authors in commit messages during pairing / mobbing session

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 12 tools directly:

  • setup_git_mob — Sets up git-mob globally for the user
  • setup_git_mob_locally — Sets up git-mob locally for the current repository when it overrides core.hooksPath git configuration variable (e.g when using husky)
  • add_team_member — Adds a new team member using their key, name, and email
  • delete_team_member — Deletes a team member by their key
  • list_team_members — Lists all team members that have been added to Git Mob
  • set_mob_session_coauthors — Sets the active pairing or mob session by specifying the keys of the team members to include as coauthors
  • clear_mob_session — Clears the active mob or pairing session
  • list_mob_session_coauthors — Lists all coauthors currently included in the active mob or pairing session
  • list_mob_session_coauthor_trailers — Lists the git Co-authored-by trailers for the coauthors currently included in the active mob or pairing session
  • get_git_mob_cli_help — Displays general help and usage information for the Git Mob CLI
  • Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this server
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server

Installing the git mob mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Git Mob sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — setup_git_mob, setup_git_mob_locally, add_team_member among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • With 12 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Git Mob.
  • Maintained by Mubashwer, written in TypeScript.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the git mob mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
