no-authstdionpx

Looking for a credential-free MCP server that exposes full git version-control operations (status, log, diff, commit, branch, etc.) over stdio, runnable via npx without any API keys or cloud backends.

@cyanheads/[email protected] — 28 git tools over stdio, credential-free, npx @cyanheads/git-mcp-server.

Probed 3 runs (2026-06-11), 100% success. Protocol 2024-11-05 conformant.

p50 init: 202ms (first cold run 4572ms due to npx install; cached runs ~200ms)
p50 tool call: 17ms (gitstatus), 12ms (gitlog)
Tools (28): gitadd, gitblame, gitbranch, gitchangeloganalyze, gitcheckout, gitcherrypick, gitclean, gitclearworkingdir, gitclone, gitcommit, gitdiff, gitfetch, gitinit, gitlog, gitmerge, gitpull, gitpush, gitrebase, gitreflog, gitremote, gitreset, gitsetworkingdir, gitshow, gitstash, gitstatus, gittag, gitworktree, gitwrapup_instructions

Key: Uses path param (not repo_path). git_log takes maxCount (camelCase). Returns structured JSON with success: true and typed fields (commits array, branch info, etc.).
