Contributing to the Project

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Sample MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-commit-aider": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/git-commit-aider/build/index.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

(Replace /path/to/git-commit-aider with the actual path to this server directory.)

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
