cd GIT-Pilot

2. Install uv (if not already installed):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate

4. Install the package using uv:

uv pip install -e .

5. Set up environment variables: Create a .env file in the project root:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

Basic Usage

Setting Up Claude Desktop Integration

1. Start the GIT-Pilot server:

uv run main.py

2. Download and install Claude Desktop

3. Configure Claude Desktop:

   • Open Claude Desktop
   • Go to File > Settings > Developer > Edit Config
   • Add the following configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "GIT-Pilot": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "path\\\\to\\\\repo",
                "run",
                "main.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop
5. Look for the hammer icon in the chat window - this indicates the MCP server is ready to use
