Repoport

repoport

repoport gives an agent hands on a local git repository without giving it a shell. It covers the everyday loop — check status, read diffs, stage files, commit, read the log, inspect a revision, and move between branches — and it does so by calling the git CLI directly, with every argument passed as data rather than stitched into a shell string.

The repository path is checked before anything runs: it must exist and must be inside a git work tree. Revision-like values that begin with a dash are refused, so a branch name or revision cannot smuggle an extra git flag into a call.

Install

npx @reneturcios/repoport status .

Or run the container image:

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/repoport

The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead. The image and the npm package both expect a git binary and access to the repository you point at; mount or run against a local checkout accordingly.

CLI

# Working tree status for a repositoryrepoport status ~/src/my-project
# Recent commits (default 10, pass a count to change it)repoport log ~/src/my-projectrepoport log ~/src/my-project 25
repoport --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when git or the repository check fails (the error carries git's own message), 2 for usage errors.

MCP server

One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/repoport mcp

MCP client configuration:

{  "mcpServers": {    "repoport": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/repoport", "mcp"]    }  }}

Tools

Every tool returns git's stdout as its text result. Failures — a missing path, a path that is not a repository, a git error, or a rejected dash-prefixed value — come back as tool errors carrying the underlying message.

Safety notes

• No shell is involved anywhere: arguments travel as an execFile argument array.
• branch_name, target, revision, contains and not_contains values starting with - are rejected before git ever sees them.
• git_commit only commits what is already staged; it never stages on your behalf.

Development

npm installnpm run build   # tsc -> dist/npm test        # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no networknpm run dev     # run the CLI from source via tsx

Tests build a throwaway repository in a temp directory (initialising git and setting a local test identity there) and exercise the full loop against it, so they need a git binary on PATH but no network and no pre-existing checkout.
