git-insight-mcp
Semantic git queries via MCP. Beyond git log — answer who/what/when/why about any line, file, or branch.
Pairs with terminal-history-mcp and localhost-mcp. Together: what you ran, what's running, what you changed.
Why
Devs ask these constantly; git answers poorly:
- "Who last touched this function?" —
git blameonly gives lines, not authors-by-region - "What PR introduced this line?" — manual: blame → commit SHA → search GH
- "Which files always change together?" — no built-in
- "Show unmerged branches older than 30 days" — bash one-liner gymnastics
- "What did I work on last week?" — manual log scrub
LLM agents need this context to make safe edits. Currently they git log -n 5 and miss everything.
