listing.about

The GitKraken MCP server is built into the gk command line tool. It wraps Git, GitHub and Jira actions and adds tools that use GitKraken APIs, so an assistant can manage repositories, pull requests and issues across several Git hosting and issue tracking providers.

It runs locally over stdio with the command npx -y @gitkraken/gk mcp, or gk mcp if the CLI is already installed. Run gk auth login first, which opens a browser to sign in to GitKraken. Provider tokens can be added with gk provider.

listing.can

  • Run Git operations in local repositories
  • Manage pull requests on GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket
  • Work with issues from Git hosts and Jira
  • Use GitKraken work items across multiple repos

listing.tools

listing.prompts

  • Show the status of my current repo and summarize the uncommitted changes.

  • List open pull requests assigned to me on GitHub.

  • Create a pull request for my current branch with a generated description.

  • Find my open Jira issues and show which ones relate to this repo.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio gitkraken -- npx -y @gitkraken/gk mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. gitkraken should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitkraken": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitkraken/gk",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs Node.js on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitkraken": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitkraken/gk",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"gitkraken","type":"stdio","command":"npx","args":["-y","@gitkraken/gk","mcp"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "gitkraken": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitkraken/gk",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitkraken": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitkraken/gk",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add gitkraken -- npx -y @gitkraken/gk mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.gitkraken]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@gitkraken/gk", "mcp"]

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add gitkraken npx -- -y @gitkraken/gk mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitkraken": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gitkraken/gk",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Node.js on your computer.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/gitkraken into my MCP client?

No. GitKraken runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is npx -y @gitkraken/gk mcp.

Does GitKraken need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is GitKraken a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with npx -y @gitkraken/gk mcp, which needs Node.js.

What can GitKraken do?

You can run Git operations in local repositories, manage pull requests on GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket and work with issues from Git hosts and Jira.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read GitKraken's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
