🧪 Development

Setup Development Environment

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory.

2. Install development dependencies:

   pip install -e ".[dev]"

3. Install pre-commit hooks:

   pre-commit install

⚙️ Deployment Modes

MCP Git Commit Generator Server supports three deployment modes to fit different workflows and environments:

DXT Package Deployment

Recommended for: Users in the DXT ecosystem who want seamless configuration management.

1. Package the project:

   dxt pack

2. Usage: Once packaged, the tool integrates directly with DXT-compatible clients with automatic user configuration variable substitution.

3. Server Configuration: This project includes manifest.json for building the .dxt package.

For more details, see DXT Package Documentation.

Traditional MCP Server

Recommended for: Standard MCP server deployments with existing MCP infrastructure.

Add to your MCP configuration file (e.g., Claude Desktop's mcp_config.json):

# Build packages
uv build
# Install packages
pip install dist/your_package*.whl

Then configure MCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp_git_commit": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "mcp_git_commit"]
    }
  }
}

Or use this configuration (less recommended):

{
   "mcp-word": {
      "command": "/Users/user/to/repo/.venv/Scripts/python",
      "args": [
        "/Users/user/to/repo/src/mcp_git_commit_generator/server.py"
      ]
   }
}
