This release significantly enhances Git-Iris with Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, project-specific configuration capabilities, and remote repository support. The update also refactors the Git module structure, adds comprehensive changelog generation features, and improves the overall user experience with quiet mode and custom logging options.
✨ Highlights
Model Context Protocol Integration
Git-Iris now integrates with the Model Context Protocol, allowing it to be used directly from AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor without requiring command-line interaction.
Project-Specific Configuration
Teams can now share common settings via version control using .irisconfig files, while keeping sensitive API keys private in personal configurations.
Remote Repository Support
Work with remote Git repositories directly without manual checkout, supporting all major commands with appropriate safety guards for read-only operations.
Docker Support
Run Git-Iris in containers with volume mounting for repository access and persistent configuration, particularly useful for CI/CD pipelines.
