GitThis server provides tools to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories via Large Language Models.
npx @mintlify/mcp add git-mcp --client claudeDebugging
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-git
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
cd path/to/servers/src/git
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-git
Running tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log will show the logs from the server and may help you debug any issues.
Development
