Everything your agent needs
Safety-First Tool Design
MCP confirms actions before they’re run, so you stay in control of what your agents do. Security is a core design principle, ensuring that nothing happens without your approval. 
Provider Git & Issue Access
Your agents work across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Jira without extra setup. One integration unlocks the tools your team already uses. 
Unified Context Across Tools
Agents gain the same Git and issue awareness developers have inside GitKraken. Every branch, commit, and ticket is linked, so responses are grounded in your actual workflows and not guesses. 
Seamless IDE Integration
Run workflows directly inside VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Kiro. No context switching, no broken focus, just natural conversations that translate into Git actions. 
Your AI + Your Git Workflows. Supercharged by MCP. included with GitKraken Pro

The MCP That Won’t Wreck Your Repo, Or Your Workflow
Safe and simple access to all your repositories, services, and project context inside AI IDE assistants like Copilot and Cursor. GitKraken MCP gives agents a single conversational layer in the IDE to run Git workflows confidently, saving time, helping developers ship better code, and making sure your agent isn’t going to get you fired.
Git Intelligence In Your IDE
MCP lets agents answer questions like “Who last changed this function and why?” directly in your editor, grounded in real commit data. No guesswork, just Git-aware intelligence where you work.


AI-Powered Issue Lookup
Stop clicking through Jira or GitHub just to see what’s on your plate. With MCP, your assistant can instantly pull up the issues assigned to you and surface them right inside your IDE — so you can stay focused on the work, not the hunt.
Commit with Confidence
Run commits, pushes, and merges through AI with built-in confirmations and safety tiers—so you move fast without risking resets, deletes, or force pushes.


Branching on Autopilot
Start work on an issue without breaking flow. Just tell your agent, “Start work on JIRA-123,” and MCP spins up a correctly named branch that follows your team’s standards. Less overhead, more time coding.
Cross-Repo Awareness
Large codebase? No problem. MCP connects commits, PRs, and issues across multiple repos and providers. Agents can answer questions like “What’s the status of this feature across services?” with one consistent view.

Frequently Asked Questions
GitKraken MCP (Model Context Protocol) gives your AI assistants and agents safe access to Git, issues, and project context directly inside your IDE. It connects tools like Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and Kiro to your repos without exposing credentials or leaking sensitive data.
Without MCP, AI assistants lack the context to do meaningful Git work and they guess. With MCP, they understand branches, commits, PRs, and issues, so they can automate real workflows safely and accurately.
MCP uses role-based permissions and scoped access. Your agents only see what you authorize. Personal tokens aren’t shared or juggled between tools so GitKraken MCP handles authentication securely.
Out of the box, MCP works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Jira. More integrations are coming, all designed to unify Git + issue context across the services your team already uses.
Yes. MCP runs seamlessly in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Kiro, with support for more environments growing. It’s designed to plug into the AI ecosystem you already use, including Copilot and other IDE-based assistants.
