git-mcp provides 30+ tools organized by function. Every tool accepts a repo_path parameter (the absolute path to the Git repository) unless noted otherwise. When GIT_REPO_PATH is configured server-side, repo_path is optional.

All tools accept a response_format parameter: "markdown" (default, human-readable) or "json" (machine-friendly structured data).
