# Git Forensics MCP

A specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for deep git repository investigation and analysis. This forensics tool provides detailed insights into repository history, branch relationships, and development patterns, focusing solely on git repository analysis rather than general GitHub or git operations.

## Features

The server provides four main analysis tools:

1. **Branch Overview** (`get_branch_overview`)
   - Provides high-level overview of branch states and relationships
   - Analyzes last commits, commit counts, and merge bases
   - Generates statistical summaries of branch activities

2. **Time Period Analysis** (`analyze_time_period`)
   - Analyzes detailed development activity in specific time periods
   - Categorizes commits (feature, fix, refactor, docs, other)
   - Provides activity summaries with commit patterns

3. **File Changes Analysis** (`analyze_file_changes`)
   - Tracks changes to specific files across branches
   - Identifies potential conflict areas
   - Provides risk assessment for file modifications
   - Generates recommended review order based on risk levels

4. **Merge Recommendations** (`get_merge_recommendations`)
   - Determines optimal merge strategies
   - Assesses conflict risks
   - Identifies code hotspots
   - Provides step-by-step merge guidance

## Input Parameters

Each tool requires specific parameters:

- `repoPath`: Path to the git repository
- `branches`: Array of branch names to analyze
- `outputPath`: Path where analysis results will be written
- Additional tool-specific parameters:
  - `timeRange`: Start and end dates for period analysis
  - `files`: Array of file paths for file change analysis

## Output Format

All tools output JSON files containing:
- Detailed analysis results
- Summary statistics
- Risk assessments (where applicable)
- Recommendations based on analysis

## Technical Details

- Built with TypeScript
- Uses MCP SDK for server implementation
- Executes git commands through child processes
- Provides error handling and validation
- Runs on stdio transport

## Dependencies

- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
- Node.js
- Git (must be installed and accessible)

## Usage

The server runs as an MCP service and can be integrated with any MCP-compatible client. All analysis results are written to specified output files in JSON format.

      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not

      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following

      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
