MCP Git Example

This example uses the git MCP server, running locally via uvx.

Run it via:

uv run python examples/mcp/git_example/main.py

Details

The example uses the MCPServerStdio class from agents.mcp, with the command:

uvx mcp-server-git

Prior to running the agent, the user is prompted to provide a local directory path to their git repo. Using that, the Agent can invoke Git MCP tools like git_log to inspect the git commit log.

Under the hood:

1. The server is spun up in a subprocess, and exposes a bunch of tools like git_log()
2. We add the server instance to the Agent via mcp_agents.
3. Each time the agent runs, we call out to the MCP server to fetch the list of tools via server.list_tools(). The result is cached.
4. If the LLM chooses to use an MCP tool, we call the MCP server to run the tool via server.run_tool().
