Git Forensics MCP Server

What is Git Forensics MCP?

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

How to use Git Forensics MCP?

Install Node.js and Git (must be accessible), then run the server as an MCP service integrated with any MCP-compatible client. Invoke tools such as get_branch_overview, analyze_time_period, analyze_file_changes, or get_merge_recommendations, providing parameters like repoPath, branches, outputPath, and tool‑specific parameters (timeRange, files). Results are written to JSON output files.
