Git Ingest
Reads GitHub repository structure and retrieves specified files, facilitating programmatic analysis of codebases.
About
Git Ingest is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to streamline the process of understanding and analyzing GitHub repositories. It allows users to programmatically access a repository's directory structure and retrieve the contents of important files. By providing these capabilities as MCP tools, Git Ingest enables seamless integration with Large Language Models (LLMs) and other applications that require contextual awareness of codebases.
Key Features
- Implements error handling for repository access and file reading.
- Provides a tree-like representation of a repository's directory structure.
- Retrieves content from specified files within a repository.
- Uses a deterministic temporary directory naming convention.
- Handles repository cloning and cleanup automatically.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the structure and contents of GitHub repositories using LLMs.
- Automating code understanding and documentation generation.
- Integrating repository analysis into CI/CD pipelines.
