Ask your AI: "Help debug this merge conflict"

MCP → reads branch history, explains the conflict in plain English, suggests safe resolution.

This is what it looks like when your AI finally understands Git.
October 6, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Ask your AI: "Start work on JIRA-123"

MCP → creates a feature branch using your team's actual conventions.

No copy-paste. No guessing.
October 6, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Ask Copilot: "Who changed this function and why?"

GitKraken MCP → pulls real commit history from GitLens.

No hallucinations. Just Git facts.
October 6, 2025 at 4:42 PM
GitKraken MCP gives agents a single conversational layer to run Git workflows confidently.

One integration → your AI becomes Git-aware across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.

Right inside VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Kiro.

Without MCP, your AI is guessing.
It doesn't know:

Who changed this function
Why a merge conflict exists
What branch naming rules your team uses

Result? Hallucinated commit messages and unsafe suggestions.
