Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"git-mcp-server-knowledge-base-oneofgods": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-git-mcp-server-knowledge-base-oneofgods"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
