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.

Installation

To get started with the aira-mcp-server, follow these steps:

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Configure the MCP server in your settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aira": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/aira-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The server provides several tools to help manage your git workflow:

Git Status Tool

The get_status tool retrieves git status information, showing you which files are staged, modified, or untracked.

Commit Message Creation

The create_commit tool helps you create and execute commits with conventional commit format:

  • Automatically generates descriptive commit messages
  • Uses conventional commit format (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
  • Commits your specified files

Gitflow Support

Initialize Gitflow

Use the init_gitflow tool to set up a gitflow workflow in your repository.

Branch Management

Several tools are available for branch operations:

  • create_branch - Creates a new branch following gitflow conventions
  • merge_branch - Merges branches according to gitflow rules
  • list_branches - Shows all gitflow branches in your repository

Usage Examples

Getting Git Status

Use the get_status tool to check the current state of your git repository:

# The tool will return information about modified, staged, and untracked files

Creating a Commit

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

Working with Gitflow

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

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

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.

For Cursor

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.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

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"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

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.

How to use the MCP server

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.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "aira": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "path/to/aira-mcp-server/build/index.js"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
