We will\r\nuse [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-git*.\r\n\r\n### Using PIP\r\n\r\nAlternatively you can install `mcp-server-git` via pip:\r\n\r\n```\r\npip install mcp-server-git\r\n```\r\n\r\nAfter installation, you can run it as a script using:\r\n\r\n```\r\npython -m mcp_server_git\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Configuration\r\n\r\n### Usage with Claude Desktop\r\n\r\nAdd this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing uvx
\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"mcpServers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"uvx\",\r\n \"args\": [\"mcp-server-git\", \"--repository\", \"path/to/git/repo\"]\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nUsing docker
\r\n\r\n* Note: replace '/Users/username' with the a path that you want to be accessible by this tool\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"mcpServers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"docker\",\r\n \"args\": [\"run\", \"--rm\", \"-i\", \"--mount\", \"type=bind,src=/Users/username,dst=/Users/username\", \"mcp/git\"]\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nUsing pip installation
\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"mcpServers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"python\",\r\n \"args\": [\"-m\", \"mcp_server_git\", \"--repository\", \"path/to/git/repo\"]\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n### Usage with VS Code\r\n\r\nFor quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below...\r\n\r\n[](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=git&config=%7B%22command%22%3A%22uvx%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22mcp-server-git%22%5D%7D) [](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=git&config=%7B%22command%22%3A%22uvx%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22mcp-server-git%22%5D%7D&quality=insiders)\r\n\r\n[](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=git&config=%7B%22command%22%3A%22docker%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22run%22%2C%22--rm%22%2C%22-i%22%2C%22--mount%22%2C%22type%3Dbind%2Csrc%3D%24%7BworkspaceFolder%7D%2Cdst%3D%2Fworkspace%22%2C%22mcp%2Fgit%22%5D%7D) [](https://insiders.vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=git&config=%7B%22command%22%3A%22docker%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22run%22%2C%22--rm%22%2C%22-i%22%2C%22--mount%22%2C%22type%3Dbind%2Csrc%3D%24%7BworkspaceFolder%7D%2Cdst%3D%2Fworkspace%22%2C%22mcp%2Fgit%22%5D%7D&quality=insiders)\r\n\r\nFor manual installation, you can configure the MCP server using one of these methods:\r\n\r\n**Method 1: User Configuration (Recommended)**\r\nAdd the configuration to your user-level MCP configuration file. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P`) and run `MCP: Open User Configuration`. This will open your user `mcp.json` file where you can add the server configuration.\r\n\r\n**Method 2: Workspace Configuration**\r\nAlternatively, you can add the configuration to a file called `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.\r\n\r\n> For more details about MCP configuration in VS Code, see the [official VS Code MCP documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers).\r\n\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n \"servers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"uvx\",\r\n \"args\": [\"mcp-server-git\"]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\nFor Docker installation:\r\n\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n \"mcp\": {\r\n \"servers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"docker\",\r\n \"args\": [\r\n \"run\",\r\n \"--rm\",\r\n \"-i\",\r\n \"--mount\", \"type=bind,src=${workspaceFolder},dst=/workspace\",\r\n \"mcp/git\"\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Usage with [Zed](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed)\r\n\r\nAdd to your Zed settings.json:\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing uvx
\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"context_servers\": [\r\n \"mcp-server-git\": {\r\n \"command\": {\r\n \"path\": \"uvx\",\r\n \"args\": [\"mcp-server-git\"]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n],\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nUsing pip installation
\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"context_servers\": {\r\n \"mcp-server-git\": {\r\n \"command\": {\r\n \"path\": \"python\",\r\n \"args\": [\"-m\", \"mcp_server_git\"]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n},\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n### Usage with [Zencoder](https://zencoder.ai)\r\n\r\n1. Go to the Zencoder menu (...)\r\n2. From the dropdown menu, select `Agent Tools`\r\n3. Click on the `Add Custom MCP`\r\n4. Add the name (i.e. git) and server configuration from below, and make sure to hit the `Install` button\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing uvx
\r\n\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n \"command\": \"uvx\",\r\n \"args\": [\"mcp-server-git\", \"--repository\", \"path/to/git/repo\"]\r\n}\r\n```\r\n \r\n\r\n## Debugging\r\n\r\nYou can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:\r\n\r\n```\r\nnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-git\r\n```\r\n\r\nOr if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:\r\n\r\n```\r\ncd path/to/servers/src/git\r\nnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-git\r\n```\r\n\r\nRunning `tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log` will show the logs from the server and may\r\nhelp you debug any issues.\r\n\r\n## Development\r\n\r\nIf you are doing local development, there are two ways to test your changes:\r\n\r\n1. Run the MCP inspector to test your changes. See [Debugging](#debugging) for run instructions.\r\n\r\n2. Test using the Claude desktop app. Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:\r\n\r\n### Docker\r\n\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n \"mcpServers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"docker\",\r\n \"args\": [\r\n \"run\",\r\n \"--rm\",\r\n \"-i\",\r\n \"--mount\", \"type=bind,src=/Users/username/Desktop,dst=/projects/Desktop\",\r\n \"--mount\", \"type=bind,src=/path/to/other/allowed/dir,dst=/projects/other/allowed/dir,ro\",\r\n \"--mount\", \"type=bind,src=/path/to/file.txt,dst=/projects/path/to/file.txt\",\r\n \"mcp/git\"\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n### UVX\r\n```json\r\n{\r\n\"mcpServers\": {\r\n \"git\": {\r\n \"command\": \"uv\",\r\n \"args\": [\r\n \"--directory\",\r\n \"//mcp-servers/src/git\",\r\n \"run\",\r\n \"mcp-server-git\"\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n }\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Build\r\n\r\nDocker build:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\ncd src/git\r\ndocker build -t mcp/git .\r\n```\r\n\r\n## License\r\n\r\nThis MCP server is licensed under the MIT License.
