Automatically generates Conventional Commits style commit messages using LLMs.
Git Commit Message Generator MCP Server
An intelligent MCP server that automatically generates Conventional Commits style commit messages using LLM providers like DeepSeek and Groq.
Features
- AI-Powered: Leverages LLM providers (DeepSeek, Groq) for intelligent commit message generation
- Conventional Commits: Follows industry-standard commit message conventions
- Multi-Provider: Supports multiple LLM providers with easy switching
- MCP Compatible: Works seamlessly with Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and other MCP clients
- Easy Setup: Simple configuration via environment variables
Quick Start
Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/FradSer/mcp-server-git-cz.git cd mcp-server-git-cz uv venv && uv pip install -r requirements.txtConfigure environment:
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your API keysRun the server:
uv run mcp-server-git-cz
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- uv package manager
Step-by-step Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/FradSer/mcp-server-git-cz.git cd mcp-server-git-czCreate virtual environment and install dependencies:
uv venv uv pip install -r requirements.txtSet up environment variables:
cp .env.example .envEdit
.envfile:DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_deepseek_api_key GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key LLM_PROVIDER=deepseek # or groq
Configuration
Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY |
DeepSeek API key | - | Yes (if using DeepSeek) |
GROQ_API_KEY |
Groq API key | - | Yes (if using Groq) |
LLM_PROVIDER |
LLM provider to use | deepseek |
No |
Transport Options
The server supports multiple transport methods:
# STDIO transport (recommended)
uv run mcp-server-git-cz
# SSE transport
uv run mcp-server-git-cz --transport sse --port 8000
Usage
The server exposes a single tool: generate_commit_message that analyzes your git diff and generates conventional commit messages.
Basic Example
import asyncio
from mcp.client.session import ClientSession
from mcp.client.stdio import StdioServerParameters, stdio_client
async def main():
async with stdio_client(
StdioServerParameters(command="uv", args=["run", "mcp-server-git-cz"])
) as (read, write):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
await session.initialize()
# Generate commit message
result = await session.call_tool("generate_commit_message", {})
print(result)
asyncio.run(main())
MCP Client Setup
Note: Replace
/path/to/mcp-server-git-czwith your actual project directory path in all configurations below.
Claude Code
# Project scope (recommended for teams)
claude mcp add git-cz -s project -- uv run --python /path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python -m mcp_server_git_cz
# User scope (personal use)
claude mcp add git-cz -s user -- uv run --python /path/to/mcp-server-git-cz/.venv/bin/python -m mcp_server_git_cz
