Git Prompts MCP Server

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that offers several commands to generate prompts based on the Git repository’s content.

(This repository draws heavy inspiration from MarkItDown MCP server and the example Git MCP server.)

Installation

Manual Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies: uv sync --frozen

Usage

As a MCP Server for Zed Editor

Add the following to your settings.json:

"context_servers": {
  "git_prompt_mcp": {
    "command": {
      "path": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/local/git_prompts_mcp_server",
        "run",
        "git-prompts-mcp-server",
        "/path/to/repo/", // parent folder of the .git directory
        "--excludes", // exclude files and directories from diff results
        "**/uv.lock",
        "--excludes",
        "**/.gitignore",
        "--format", // format for diff results
        "json"  // options: json, text
      ]
    },
    "settings": {}
  }
}

Commands

The server responds to the following commands:

1. /git-diff <ancestor_branch_or_commit>: Populate the diff results between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.
2. /generate-pr-desc <ancestor_branch_or_commit>: Generate a pull request description based on the diff results between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.

• Note: This is largely the same as /git-diff, but it includes instructions for generating a pull request description at the end of the output.

3. /git-cached-diff: Populate the diff results for the staged changes and HEAD.

Examples:

1. /generate-pr-desc main
2. /git-diff dev
3. /git-cached-diff
