Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-history": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-git-history"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add git-history -- npx -y mcp-server-git-history

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-history": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-git-history"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "git-history": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-server-git-history"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Git History safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.1) reached the registry last month.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

mcp-server-git-history

Uusin julkaistu versio: 1.1.2 — https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-server-git-history

MCP-palvelin (Model Context Protocol) joka antaa tekoälyagenteille (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) työkalut Git-repositorion historian lukemiseen ja hakemiseen.

Ratkaisee ongelman jossa tekoäly näkee koodin nykytilan, mutta ei tiedä *miksi* jokin muuttui tai *kuka* teki muutoksen viimeksi.

Teknologiat: Node.js 18/20/22/24, Model Context Protocol (stdio), simple-git, zod. Lisenssi: LICENSE.

Sisältö: Quick start · Työkalut · Esimerkkivastaus · Asennus Claude Desktopiin · Asennus Cursoriin · Kehitys ja testaus · Rakenne

Quick start

An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) tools to read and search Git history — commit search, file history, blame, contributors, and diffs between refs.

Run it directly with npx (no install needed):

npx -y mcp-server-git-history /path/to/your/repo

Add it to Claude Desktop's config (claude_desktop_config.json):

"mcpServers": { "git-history": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-git-history", "/path/to/your/repo"] } } }

Restart Claude Desktop, then ask something like *"When was src/index.js last changed, and why?"*

Työkalut

`search_commits(query, limit?)` — etsii commiteja hakusanalla commit-viestistä
`get_recent_commits(limit?)` — hakee uusimmat commitit (yleiskuva viimeaikaisista muutoksista)
`get_commit_diff(commitHash)` — hakee yhden commitin koko diffin
`get_file_history(filePath, limit?)` — hakee tiedoston muutoshistorian (kuka, milloin, miksi)
`blame_file(filePath, startLine?, endLine?)` — rivikohtainen git blame: kuka ja missä commitissa kirjoitti kunkin rivin
`get_contributors(limit?)` — yhteenveto committaajista ja heidän commit-määristään (git shortlog -sn)
`get_diff_between_refs(fromRef, toRef, filePath?)` — diffi kahden commitin/branchin/tagin välillä, valinnaisesti yhteen tiedostoon rajattuna

Esimerkkikutsut

{ "name": "search_commits", "arguments": { "query": "login-bugi", "limit": 10 } }

{ "name": "get_recent_commits", "arguments": { "limit": 5 } }

{ "name": "get_commit_diff", "arguments": { "commitHash": "a1b2c3d" } }

{ "name": "get_file_history", "arguments": { "filePath": "src/index.js", "limit": 10 } }

{ "name": "blame_file", "arguments": { "filePath": "src/index.js", "startLine": 10, "endLine": 25 } }

{ "name": "get_contributors", "arguments": { "limit": 10 } }

{ "name": "get_diff_between_refs", "arguments": { "fromRef": "main", "toRef": "HEAD", "filePath": "src/index.js" } }

Vain luku: kaikki työkalut käyttävät ainoastaan lukevia Git-komentoja (log, show, blame, shortlog, diff). Palvelin ei koskaan muuta repositoriota.

Esimerkkivastaus

get_recent_commits palauttaa JSON-listan (todellinen tulos npm test:stä):

{ "hash": "bc3338e", "date": "2026-10-05T14:29:43+03:00", "author": "tonyweckstrom1987", "message": "Upgrade GitHub Actions to latest versions" } ]

Asennus Claude Desktopiin

Lisää claude_desktop_config.json-tiedostoon:

"mcpServers": { "git-history": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-git-history", "/polku/repositorioosi"] } } }

Repositorion polku voidaan antaa myös GIT_REPO_PATH-ympäristömuuttujalla, tai jättää pois jolloin käytetään palvelimen käynnistyshakemistoa.

Käynnistä Claude Desktop uudelleen, ja kysy esimerkiksi: *"Milloin tiedostoa src/index.js on viimeksi muokattu ja miksi?"*

Asennus Cursoriin

Lisää projektin .cursor/mcp.json-tiedostoon (tai globaaliin ~/.cursor/mcp.json-tiedostoon):

"mcpServers": { "git-history": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-git-history", "/polku/repositorioosi"] } } }

Avaa Cursorin asetuksista *MCP*-välilehti ja varmista, että git-history-palvelin on käynnissä (vihreä piste). Sama GIT_REPO_PATH-ympäristömuuttuja ja komentoriviargumentti toimivat kuin Claude Desktopissa.

Kehitys ja testaus paikallisesti

git clone <repo>

cd mcp-server-git-history npm install npm test # testaa tätä samaa repoa node test/manual-test.js /polku/johonkin/git-repoon # tai jotain muuta repoa

Testiskripti käynnistää palvelimen alaprosessina ja kutsuu kaikkia työkaluja oikeaa MCP-protokollaa käyttäen (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk:n Client + StdioClientTransport), ei vain suoraan funktioita — samalla tavalla kuin Claude Desktop oikeasti kutsuisi palvelinta.

Miksi tämä on ilmainen ylläpitää

Palvelin itse ei tee tekoälykutsuja — se vain lukee Git-dataa ja palauttaa sen. *Tekoäly* (esim. Claude Desktop) kutsuu palvelinta, ei toisinpäin. Ei API-avaimia, ei kustannuksia.

Rakenne

bin/server.js — MCP-palvelin, työkalujen rekisteröinti (McpServer + StdioServerTransport)
lib/git-tools.js — Git-logiikka (simple-git)
test/manual-test.js — päästä-päähän-testi oikealla MCP-clientillä
