Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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-summary": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "git-summary-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add git-summary -- npx -y git-summary-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

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

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

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 Summary safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 7 months ago.

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.

What can I use instead?

git-summary-mcp

An MCP server that gives AI assistants deep understanding of your local Git repositories. Get instant repo overviews, semantic change summaries, blame analysis, auto-generated changelogs, branch health checks, and history search — all from within Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Quick Start

npx git-summary-mcp

Zero config. No API keys. No accounts. Just run it in any Git repository.

Tools

`git_summary`

Structured overview of a repository: current branch, recent commits, contributors, and stats.

"Summarize this repository"

"Who are the top contributors?" "Show me the last 10 commits"

`git_changes`

Semantic change summary for any commit range. See what files changed, who changed them, and the overall diff stat.

"What changed between v1.0 and v2.0?"

"Summarize the changes in the last week" "What did the feature branch change?"

`git_blame`

Analyze file ownership: who wrote each line, when, and in which commit. Get contributor breakdowns.

"Who last modified src/index.ts?"

"Show me the blame for lines 50-100 of app.py" "Who owns most of this file?"

`git_changelog`

Auto-generate a changelog grouped by commit type (features, fixes, docs, etc.) using conventional commit detection.

"Generate a changelog for the last release"

"Create release notes from v1.0 to v2.0"

`git_branch_health`

Find stale branches, merged branches ready for cleanup, and branches that are ahead/behind.

"Which branches are stale?"

"Any branches that have been merged and can be deleted?" "Show me branch health"

`git_search`

Search through commit messages and code changes (pickaxe search) to find when something was introduced or changed.

"When was the login function added?"

"Find commits that mention 'authentication'" "When was this config value changed?"

Installation

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config:

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

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

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

Windsurf

Add to your MCP configuration with the same format as above.

Why?

AI coding assistants can read files and run commands, but they don't inherently *understand* your project's history. This MCP server gives them structured, token-efficient Git intelligence so they can:

Understand who worked on what and when
Generate accurate changelogs and release notes
Find when bugs were introduced
Identify stale branches and cleanup opportunities
Summarize changes for code reviews and PRs

Requirements

Node.js 18+
Git installed and available in PATH
Must be run inside (or pointed at) a Git repository
