Git

Read, search, and manipulate Git repositories from an MCP client. Status, log, diff, branch — all the safe primitives.

Tier 1 sealed by curl

Git the MCP server is exactly what you want it to be: read-side Git for agents. Status, log, diff, branch, blame. The destructive verbs are not in the contract and that's the right call — you don't want an agent rebasing your main branch on a hunch. Pair it with Filesystem and you have a working code-reading harness.
