add-git-tools-mcp

add-git-tools-mcp is a skill for Codex from ceshine/git-prompts-mcp-server. It costs 69 tokens per session (386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup instruction that adds a Git-focused MCP server to a repository's local Codex configuration. Git is a tool for tracking code changes, and MCP lets an agent use external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating or updating .codex/config.toml so the server can generate Git-related prompts for the repository while excluding lock files.
Why use it?
It avoids manually writing or correcting the local configuration needed to start that server for the current repository.

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

Good fit Creating or updating .codex/config.toml so the server can generate Git-related prompts for the repository while excluding lock files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-git-tools-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Add Git Tools Mcp

Overview

Update the repository-local .codex/config.toml so Codex can start the git_tools MCP server for the current repository. Create the config file if it does not exist, and preserve unrelated existing config.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the repository root from the current working directory and convert it to an absolute path.
  2. Inspect .codex/config.toml under that repository root.
  3. Create the file if it does not exist yet.
  4. Add or update this TOML block, replacing the path argument with the absolute repository path:
[mcp_servers.git_tools]
command = "uvx"
args = [
  "--from",
  "git+https://github.com/ceshine/git-prompts-mcp-server.git",
  "git-prompts-mcp-server",
  "/absolute/path/to/repository",
  "--excludes",
  "**/*.lock",
  "--format",
  "json"
]
  1. Preserve valid TOML formatting and avoid removing unrelated sections.
  2. If an existing mcp_servers.git_tools block is present, replace it instead of creating a duplicate.

Notes

  • Prefer editing the local repository config at .codex/config.toml, not a global Codex config.
  • Use the repository root path, not the .codex directory path, as the server argument.
  • Keep the **/*.lock exclude and json format arguments intact unless the user explicitly asks to change them.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
