Claude Code MCP plugin that adds a live git branch status bar to the Claude footer.
⎇ payment-service:feature/PAYM-43 | payments-ui:main | payments-infra:main
Features
- Branch status bar — shows the current git branch for every configured repo in the Claude footer
- Master toggle — enable/disable the status bar entirely
- Reference repo toggle — show/hide read-only reference repos separately from active dev repos
- Per-repo visibility — show or hide individual repos without removing them from config
- MCP tools — manage everything via natural language in Claude chat

git clone [email protected]:raptortech1/agentic-bits-claude-plugin.git
cd agentic-bits-claude-plugin

{
"mcpServers": {
"agentic-bits": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/agentic-bits-claude-plugin/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
