About
a development time machine for AI assistants
README
An MCP server (target spec 2026-07-28) providing a Development Time Machine. Analyzes git reflogs, commit history, working directory deltas, and shell history to give AI assistants temporal context about developer activity.
Quick Start
# Install dependencies
uv sync
# Run the MCP server (HTTP JSON-RPC on http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp, SSE on /sse)
uv run git-telemetry-mcp
# Run tests
uv run pytest
MCP Client Configuration
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenCode):
{
"mcpServers": {
"git-telemetry": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp"
}
}
}
Key Features & Architecture
- 16 MCP Tools: Context packs, reflog timelines, dirty diff summaries, shell correlation, dry-run merge checks, stale branch detection, and smart commit generation.
- Privacy First: Built-in serializer gate redacts PII, private keys, authorization tokens, API keys, and database credentials before payload return.
- Contract Compliant: Every tool emits a
telemetry_payloadenvelope (timezone_offset,repo_checksum,confidence_score,data) validated against draft-07outputSchemaand annotated withreadOnlyHint,destructiveHint, andidempotentHint. - Safe Destructive Operations: Two-round-trip
input_requiredconfirmation flow forsafe_git_resetandsafe_git_checkout.
For complete documentation, tool reference, argument schemas, sample outputs, and protocol details, see HANDBOOK.md.
