Grok Git git_create_branch

How to: Grok Git git_create_branch

client:Grok transport:stdio tool:git_create_branch

Add Git to Grok

  1. 01

    Open .mcp.json (in your project root) and merge this in. Keep any servers already there. 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-git"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Grok.

  2. 03

    Ask for something git_create_branch does. Grok lists the server's tools on connect and calls git_create_branch itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Git's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Grok Build reads Claude Code's .mcp.json and Claude Desktop's config unchanged, so a server you have already set up there needs nothing new. The Grok web app and X integration do not take custom servers. Grok docs

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
