Git IngestSAFE

[](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-git-ingest)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that helps read GitHub repository structure and important files.

Inspired by gitingest.

Configuration

{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-git-ingest": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/adhikasp/mcp-git-ingest", "mcp-git-ingest"],
}
}
}

Usage

Using mcp-client-cli:

$ llm read https://github.com/adhikasp/mcp-git-ingest and determine how the code technically works

I'll help you understand the technical details of the mcp-git-ingest repository. I'll first fetch the directory structure and then read the important files to analyze how the code works.

Tool Calls:
github_directory_structure
Args:
repo_url: https://github.com/adhikasp/mcp-git-ingest

Now, I'll read the important files to understand the technical implementation:

Tool Calls:
github_read_important_files
Args:
repo_url: https://github.com/adhikasp/mcp-git-ingest
file_paths: ['README.md', 'src/mcp_git_ingest/main.py', 'pyproject.toml']

Let me break down how this code technically works:

1. Purpose:
The `mcp-git-ingest` is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to help read GitHub repository structures and important files. It provides two main tools:
- `github_directory_structure`: Returns a tree-like representation of a repository's directory structure
- `github_read_important_files`: Reads and returns the contents of specified files in a repository

2. Technical Implementation:

a. Dependencies:
- Uses `fastmcp` for creating an MCP server
- Uses `gitpython` for Git repository operations
- Requires Python 3.8+

b. Key Function
