Git MCP Server
Reference MCP server exposing git operations — diff, log, blame, commit — to any MCP client.
Git MCP Server is a reference MCP server exposing git operations — diff, log, blame, commit — to any MCP client. Exposes core git operations including diff, log, blame, and commit through the Model Context Protocol.
About Git MCP Server
Git MCP Server is an MCP server that exposes core git operations — diff, log, blame, and commit — to any MCP client.
It is the official reference implementation that MCP server authors model their own servers on. The codebase is open source, so developers can self-host it and extend it, and it runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
It suits developers who want git actions available inside an MCP client such as Claude Desktop, or who are building their own MCP server and want a template to copy. It is scoped to git only and does not cover other version-control systems like Mercurial or SVN. As a reference implementation it is a starting point rather than a finished product, and it needs an MCP-compatible client to do anything.
Against other MCP servers, it is less an end-user tool than a canonical example, positioned as the pattern others build from.

What it does well
- Exposes core git operations including diff, log, blame, and commit through the Model Context Protocol.
- Serves as the official reference implementation for MCP server authors to model their own servers on.
- Open source codebase that can be self-hosted and extended by developers.
- Cross-platform support running on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Where it falls short
- Limited to git version control and does not cover other VCS systems like Mercurial or SVN.
- Requires an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop to be practically useful.
- As a reference implementation, it is primarily intended as a starting point rather than a feature-complete product.

You don't start by building. You start by finding the one assumption that would kill the idea, then build the smallest thing that tests it. Here's the full idea-to-deployed workflow from a live AI build session: research the market with ChatGPT, pick a segment on unit economics, have AI write the PRD, then vibe-code and ship with Claude Code — in a couple of hours, not a quarter.

A harness is the runtime wrapper that turns a bare language model into an agent — the layer that runs tools, holds memory, assembles context, and enforces limits. The model does the reasoning; the harness does everything the model can't do on its own. It's the part that decides whether you shipped a chatbot or a real agent — and it's why the same model feels brilliant in one tool and useless in another.

Claude Code has built-in memory — a CLAUDE.md file it reads each session — but it only holds short, hand-written notes. To make it understand a large codebase or docs set, you add a second brain: turn the repo into a knowledge graph, fold that into an Obsidian vault, and let the agent query the map instead of re-reading every file.
