About Git Forensics MCP

Git Forensics MCP is an MCP server for investigating Git repositories, aimed at teams examining branch relationships, development activity, and change risks. It focuses on repository analysis rather than general GitHub or Git operations.

Key features

  1. 01Branch state and relationship overview
  2. 02Commit activity by time period
  3. 03File change tracking across branches
  4. 04Conflict risk assessment and merge guidance
  5. 05Write analysis results as JSON files

Use cases

  1. 01Review branch states and merge bases
  2. 02Examine development activity in a period
  3. 03Identify file hotspots and conflict risks

MCP support

The MCP server provides repository analysis tools to compatible clients over stdio. Analysis results are written as JSON files at a specified path.

Git Forensics MCP

A specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for deep git repository investigation and analysis. This forensics tool provides detailed insights into repository history, branch relationships, and development patterns, focusing solely on git repository analysis rather than general GitHub or git operations.

Features

The server provides four main analysis tools:

  1. Branch Overview (get_branch_overview)

    • Provides high-level overview of branch states and relationships
    • Analyzes last commits, commit counts, and merge bases
    • Generates statistical summaries of branch activities

  2. Time Period Analysis (analyze_time_period)

    • Analyzes detailed development activity in specific time periods
    • Categorizes commits (feature, fix, refactor, docs, other)
    • Provides activity summaries with commit patterns

  3. File Changes Analysis (analyze_file_changes)

    • Tracks changes to specific files across branches
    • Identifies potential conflict areas
    • Provides risk assessment for file modifications
    • Generates recommended review order based on risk levels

  4. Merge Recommendations (get_merge_recommendations)

    • Determines optimal merge strategies
    • Assesses conflict risks
    • Identifies code hotspots
    • Provides step-by-step merge guidance

Input Parameters

Each tool requires specific parameters:

  • repoPath: Path to the git repository
  • branches: Array of branch names to analyze
  • outputPath: Path where analysis results will be written
  • Additional tool-specific parameters:
    • timeRange: Start and end dates for period analysis
    • files: Array of file paths for file change analysis

Output Format

All tools output JSON files containing:

  • Detailed analysis results
  • Summary statistics
  • Risk assessments (where applicable)
  • Recommendations based on analysis

Technical Details

  • Built with TypeScript
  • Uses MCP SDK for server implementation
  • Executes git commands through child processes
  • Provides error handling and validation
  • Runs on stdio transport

Dependencies

  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Node.js
  • Git (must be installed and accessible)

Usage

The server runs as an MCP service and can be integrated with any MCP-compatible client. All analysis results are written to specified output files in JSON format.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
