cyanheads_git-mcp-server

The Git MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), created by Anthropic, which provides a standardized communication protocol between LLMs and external systems. The architecture consists of clients (such as Claude Desktop and IDEs) that maintain server connections, servers that provide tools and resources to clients, and LLMs that interact with servers through client applications. This architecture creates a secure boundary between LLMs and external systems while enabling controlled access to Git functionality. Through the MCP protocol, the Git server empowers LLMs to perform version control operations, manage repositories, and handle complex Git workflows — all within a secure and validated environment.
