Question 1

What is an MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs (Large Language Models). An MCP server acts as a bridge, allowing AI models to access and interact with external data sources and tools.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the Git Stuff MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The Git Stuff MCP Server provides Git-related functionalities to AI models, enabling them to understand, analyze, and interact with software development workflows. Currently, it offers a tool to generate the diff for a Git merge commit against its first parent.

Question 3

What is the `get_git_merge_diff` tool?

Accepted Answer

The `get_git_merge_diff` tool is a feature of the Git Stuff MCP Server that accepts a Git merge commit hash and returns the textual diff content generated by `git show -m --first-parent <commitHash>`. This helps AI agents analyze changes introduced during a merge.

Question 4

What are the prerequisites for running the Git Stuff MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You need Node.js, npm, Git, and PowerShell (or `pwsh` on Linux/macOS) installed and accessible in your system's PATH.

Question 5

How do I install the Git Stuff MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

First, clone the repository using `git clone <your-repo-url>`. Then, navigate to the directory and run `npm install` to install the dependencies.

Question 6

How do I run the Git Stuff MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

After installing, build the TypeScript code using `npm run build`. Then, run the compiled code with `npm start` or use `npm run dev` to build and run in development mode.

Question 7

How do I use the `get_git_merge_diff` tool?

Accepted Answer

When connected via an MCP client, you can call the `get_git_merge_diff` tool with the `commitHash` (string) of the merge commit you want to diff. The tool will return the diff content as text.

Question 8

How does the server generate the diff?

Accepted Answer

The server executes a PowerShell script (`GenerateMergeDiff.ps1`) that runs `git show -m --first-parent <commitHash>` and saves the output to a temporary file. The server then reads the content of this file and returns it to the MCP client.

Question 9

Where can I configure the server settings?

Accepted Answer

Key configuration points are defined as constants within `src/index.ts`, including `SERVER_NAME`, `SCRIPT_NAME`, and `OUTPUT_DIFF_FILE`.

Question 10

What license is the project under?

Accepted Answer

This project is licensed under the MIT License.

Question 11

How does the Git Stuff MCP Server integrate with UBOS?
