Git MCP Server

Official

Run git commands and inspect local repositories from your AI

gitversion-controllocalofficialdiffcommits

The official Git MCP server lets your AI assistant interact with local git repositories directly. Read commit history, check diffs, inspect branches, view file status, and understand code changes over time — all without leaving your AI client. Unlike the GitHub server which works with remote repositories, this server works with git repositories on your local machine. Particularly useful for understanding what changed and why.
