About git-mcp-server
cyanheads/git-mcp-server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enabling LLMs and AI agents to interact with Git repositories. Provides tools for comprehensive Git operations including clone, commit, branch, diff, log, status, push, pull, merge, rebase, worktree, tag management, and more, via the MCP standard. STDIO & HTTP.
Provides 28 tools organized by workflow (staging, branching, remote ops, advanced), plus session-based resource management and a structured wrap-up prompt for guided git workflows. Built on pluggable architecture with declarative tool definitions, dependency injection via tsyringe, and support for commit signing—with cross-runtime detection for Bun and Node.js via auto-spawned git processes. Integrates with MCP clients (Cline, Claude Desktop) over stdio or HTTP transports, with configurable git identity, path sanitization for security, and optional OpenTelemetry observability.
About gh-mcp
shuymn/gh-mcp
A GitHub CLI extension that seamlessly runs the github-mcp-server using your existing gh authentication. Eliminates manual PAT setup by automatically retrieving GitHub credentials and launching the MCP server with proper authentication.
Bundles and auto-extracts platform-specific `github-mcp-server` binaries with SHA256 integrity verification, then bridges them to MCP clients (Claude Code, etc.) via stdio transport. Offers fine-grained control through environment variables for toolset filtering, read-only mode, and dynamic capability discovery, while enforcing a strict allowlist for process environment inheritance to mitigate supply-chain risks.
