Gitstandup

GitStandup MCP Server

Generate daily standup notes from your git commits using AI

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that automatically collects your git commits from multiple repositories and helps AI assistants generate natural, comprehensive standup summaries.

✨ Features

• 📦 Multi-repo support - Track commits across all your projects
• 👤 User-specific - Only shows your commits (filtered by git user.email)
• ⏰ Time-based - Configurable lookback period (default: last 24 hours)
• 🎯 Smart diff analysis - Includes code changes with intelligent truncation
• 💾 Persistent config - Remembers your repos in ~/.gitstandup/config.json
• 🧹 Clean output - Skips generated files (lock files, minified code)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Using npx (no installation needed)npx -y gitstandup-mcp
# Or install globallynpm install -g gitstandup-mcp

Setup with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "gitstandup": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "gitstandup-mcp"]    }  }}

Setup with VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to your VS Code MCP settings:

{  "gitstandup": {    "type": "stdio",    "command": "npx",    "args": ["-y", "gitstandup-mcp"]  }}

📖 Usage

Once configured, you can use natural language with your AI assistant:

"Generate my standup notes""What did I work on yesterday?""Show my commits from the last 2 days"

First Time Setup

1. Add your repositories:

   "Add /path/to/my/project to GitStandup"

2. Generate standup notes:

   "Generate my standup notes"

3. The AI will create a summary like:

   Yesterday I:

   • Implemented OAuth authentication flow in the api-server
   • Fixed critical bug in payment processing
   • Added integration tests for user registration

{  "paths": ["/Users/you/projects/my-app", "/Users/you/projects/api"]}

list_repos

List currently configured repositories.

Returns: Array of configured repository paths

remove_repos

🔧 Development

# Clone the repositorygit clone https://github.com/muba00/gitstandup.gitcd gitstandup
# Install dependenciesnpm install
# Buildnpm run build
# Test locallynode build/index.js

📝 Configuration

Repository paths are stored in ~/.gitstandup/config.json:

{  "repos": ["/Users/you/projects/project1", "/Users/you/projects/project2"]}

You can edit this file manually or use the add_repos and remove_repos tools.

📦 Publishing to MCP Registry

This server is discoverable via the GitHub MCP Registry and OSS MCP Community Registry.

For Maintainers

To publish a new version:

1. Update version in both files:

   bash

   # Update version in package.json and server.jsonnpm version patch  # or minor/major

2. Build and publish to npm:

   bash

   npm run buildnpm publish

3. Install mcp-publisher (first time only):

   bash

   brew install mcp-publisher# ORcurl -L "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/releases/latest/download/mcp-publisher_$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')_$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/;s/aarch64/arm64/').tar.gz" | tar xz mcp-publisher && sudo mv mcp-publisher /usr/local/bin/

4. Authenticate (first time only):

   bash

   mcp-publisher login github

5. Update server.json version to match package.json and publish:

   bash

   mcp-publisher publish

The server will automatically appear in both the GitHub MCP Registry and the community registry, making it discoverable in VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients.
