This MCP server provides git workflow automation through the Model Context Protocol, allowing you to create commit messages from git staged files, manage gitflow workflows, and perform various branch operations directly through MCP commands.
To get started with the aira-mcp-server, follow these steps:
npm install
npm run build
Configure the MCP server in your settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aira": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/aira-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}
The server provides several tools to help manage your git workflow:
The get_status
tool retrieves git status information, showing you which files are staged, modified, or untracked.
The create_commit
tool helps you create and execute commits with conventional commit format:
Use the init_gitflow
tool to set up a gitflow workflow in your repository.
Several tools are available for branch operations:
create_branch
- Creates a new branch following gitflow conventionsmerge_branch
- Merges branches according to gitflow ruleslist_branches
- Shows all gitflow branches in your repositoryUse the get_status tool to check the current state of your git repository:
# The tool will return information about modified, staged, and untracked files
The create_commit tool helps generate conventional commit messages:
# The tool can analyze your changes and suggest appropriate commit messages
# It will format commits according to conventional commit standards
Initialize gitflow in your repository:
# Sets up the standard gitflow branch structure
Create feature, hotfix, or release branches:
# Creates branches with appropriate prefixes following gitflow conventions
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "aira" '{"command":"node","args":["path/to/aira-mcp-server/build/index.js"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aira": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"path/to/aira-mcp-server/build/index.js"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
