Cline Git git_diff

How to: Cline Git git_diff

client:Cline transport:stdio tool:git_diff

Add Git to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there. 

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

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something git_diff does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls git_diff 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.

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.
