Install & configure

Prerequisites

required
git
git CLI must be installed locally (provider wraps native git)

Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `git-mcp-server-cyanheads` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **git** — git CLI must be installed locally (provider wraps native git)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["@cyanheads/git-mcp-server@latest"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE`: Transport: stdio or http (example: `stdio`)
  - `MCP_LOG_LEVEL`: Log level (example: `info`)
  - `GIT_BASE_DIR`: Absolute path restricting git operations to a directory tree (example: `<your-base-dir>`)
  - `LOGS_DIR`: Directory where the server writes logs (example: `<your-logs-dir>`)
  - `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`: Git author name (alias: GIT_USERNAME) (example: `<your-git-username>`)
  - `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`: Git author email (alias: GIT_EMAIL) (example: `<your-git-email>`)
  - `GIT_SIGN_COMMITS`: Enable GPG/SSH signing (example: `false`)
  - `MCP_HTTP_PORT`: HTTP port when MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http (example: `3015`)

Note: Also supports Streamable HTTP via MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http on MCP_HTTP_PORT (default 3015).

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.

Note: Also supports Streamable HTTP via MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http on MCP_HTTP_PORT (default 3015).
