## What it does

git-courer is an MCP server that returns structured JSON to an agent. Its Git tools cover status, diffs, branches, stashes, history, and sync. For isolated work, `session start` creates a worktree and branch; `session finish` closes the session and cleans up the worktree.

Before a commit, the server examines the AST and dependency graph. Go rules determine the commit type, while an enabled LLM writes the message. With the LLM disabled, the agent writes the message itself, but release is unavailable. That restriction matters if your workflow needs releases without an LLM. Install with `go install github.com/blak0p/git-courer@latest`, then run `git-courer mcp setup` to configure the agent.
