1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/naomiOvad/Git-MCP-Server---Development-Manager-Analytics-Tools gitMCP
cd gitMCP
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Configure Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {

}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop
The MCP server will automatically start when you launch Claude Desktop.
How It Works
gitMCP uses a three-layer architecture:
- Git Fetcher - Runs Git commands with filters (since, until, author, etc.)
- Parser - Transforms raw Git output into structured data
- MCP Tool - Exposes data as Claude-callable functions
Each tool can be used independently or combined for comprehensive analysis.
Common Workflows
