Overview
Git Mob MCP Server is a Node.js server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for the Git Mob CLI. It enables automatic creation and management of co-authors for pair- and mob-programming sessions by maintaining a roster of team members and appending Co-authored-by trailers to commit messages for active sessions. Built with the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, the server exposes MCP resources and tooling that integrate with the Git Mob CLI to set up git-mob globally or locally, manage team members (add/delete/list), and configure the active session's coauthors. It supports commands to set and clear the mob session, enumerate current coauthors and their trailers, and retrieve CLI help and version information. The project includes NPX usage for Claude Desktop and VS Code, allowing straightforward configuration in development environments, and ships with an MCP Inspector for testing and debugging during local development. Prerequisites include Node.js 18+, Git v2.32+, and the git-mob CLI. The MIT-licensed server aims to streamline co-authorship workflows across collaborative coding sessions.
