How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~1,586 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
gitwand_apply_resolution ~132

Apply a custom resolution (provided by the LLM or user) to a specific conflict hunk. Replaces the conflict markers at the given line range with the provided content. Use this for 'complex' hunks that GitWand couldn't auto-resolve.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentstringyesThe resolved content to replace the conflict block with.
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
filestringyesPath to the conflicted file (relative to cwd).
linenumberyesStart line of the conflict hunk (the <<<<<<< line).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

gitwand_explain_hunk ~92

Explain why a specific conflict hunk was classified as its type. Returns the DecisionTrace with each evaluation step and the ours/theirs/base content for context.

NameTypeReqDescription
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
filestringyesPath to the conflicted file (relative to cwd).
linenumberyesStart line of the hunk to explain.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

gitwand_preview_merge ~373

Side-effect-free Conflict Predictor. Simulates a merge, rebase, or cherry-pick and reports how many conflicts GitWand can auto-resolve vs. how many need manual/LLM attention, plus an overall risk level (low/medium/high). Does NOT modify the working tree, index, or HEAD. - operation 'merge' (default): analyzes conflicts already materialized in the working tree (files with conflict markers). - operation 'rebase': simulates rebasing HEAD onto `onto` (3-way against merge-base(HEAD, onto); HEAD's work is replayed on top of `onto`). - operation 'cherry-pick': simulates cherry-picking `commit` onto HEAD (3-way with `commit^` as ancestor, HEAD as ours, `commit` as theirs).

NameTypeReqDescription
commitstringRequired when operation is 'cherry-pick': the commit to simulate cherry-picking onto HEAD.
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
ontostringRequired when operation is 'rebase': the branch/ref to rebase HEAD onto.
operationstringOperation to simulate. Default: 'merge'.
regeneratebooleanOnly applies when operation is 'merge' (the default). If true, report GitWand's regenerate-tier plan (lockfile ecosystem + whether it's currently runnable) for any declined generated file (e.g. packa…

No examples provided.

gitwand_resolve_conflicts ~244

Auto-resolve trivial Git merge conflicts using GitWand's pattern-based engine. Returns resolved files, DecisionTrace for each hunk, and pendingHunks for conflicts that need human/LLM review. Writes resolved files to disk unless dry_run is true.

NameTypeReqDescription
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
dry_runbooleanIf true, analyze without writing files. Default: false.
filesarraySpecific files to resolve. If omitted, discovers all conflicted files from git.
policystringMerge policy to use. Default: prefer-theirs.
regeneratebooleanIf true, report GitWand's regenerate-tier plan (lockfile ecosystem + whether it's currently runnable) for any declined generated file (e.g. package-lock.json), reusing the same file states this call…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

gitwand_resolve_hunk ~320

Ask the connected AI agent (the caller of this MCP server) to propose a resolution for a single Git merge conflict hunk. Returns a fully-formed prompt with the base/ours/theirs versions and asks the agent to reply with a JSON object { "resolution": "<merged code>", "reasoning": "<short explanation>" }. This tool does NOT call any external LLM — the agent that called the tool IS the LLM. Use it when GitWand (desktop/cli) wants to delegate the resolution of a `complex` hunk to the agent driving the session, instead of calling Anthropic/OpenAI directly. Pair the agent's answer with `gitwand_apply_resolution` to write it to disk.

NameTypeReqDescription
basestringyesContent of the hunk in the merge base (common ancestor). May be empty for hunks with no shared ancestor.
contextstringOptional surrounding code (a few lines above and below the hunk) so the agent can reason about intent.
filePathstringyesPath of the file containing the hunk (used by the agent to infer language and apply format-aware reasoning).
languagestringOptional language hint (e.g. "typescript", "python", "rust"). If omitted, the agent infers it from `filePath`.
oursstringyesContent of the hunk from the current branch (HEAD / ours side).
theirsstringyesContent of the hunk from the incoming branch (theirs side).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

gitwand_resolve_hunk_llm ~261

Validate and apply an LLM-proposed resolution for a specific conflict hunk. Reads the hunk at the given file+line, replaces it with the proposed resolution, validates the result (no residual markers, syntax check for JSON/YAML), and writes the file if the validation score meets the threshold. Returns the full audit trail (validation score, accepted/rejected, reason). Workflow: (1) call gitwand_status or gitwand_explain_hunk to see pending complex hunks, (2) propose a resolution, (3) call this tool to validate + apply it.

NameTypeReqDescription
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
dry_runbooleanIf true, validate but do NOT write the file. Default: false.
filestringyesPath to the conflicted file (relative to cwd).
linenumberyesStart line of the conflict hunk (the <<<<<<< line, 1-indexed).
min_scorenumberMinimum validation score (0–100) to accept and write the resolution. Default: 80.
resolutionstringyesLLM-proposed resolution content — the lines that replace the conflict block.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

gitwand_status ~164

List conflicted files in the current Git repo with their complexity and auto-resolvability. Returns a structured JSON report with conflict counts, types, and confidence scores.

NameTypeReqDescription
cwdstringWorking directory (repo root). Defaults to server cwd.
regeneratebooleanIf true, report GitWand's regenerate-tier plan (lockfile ecosystem + whether it's currently runnable) for any declined generated file (e.g. package-lock.json), reusing the same file states this call…

Common questions

What is the io.github.devlint/gitwand MCP server?

io.github.devlint/gitwand is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.devlint/gitwand. Auto-resolves Git merge conflicts so agents only touch the complex hunks. This page covers its npm package (@gitwand/mcp).

Is the io.github.devlint/gitwand MCP server safe to use?

io.github.devlint/gitwand scores 94 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.github.devlint/gitwand MCP server expose?

io.github.devlint/gitwand exposes 7 tools: gitwand_status, gitwand_resolve_conflicts, gitwand_preview_merge, gitwand_explain_hunk, gitwand_apply_resolution, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,586 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.devlint/gitwand MCP server still maintained?

io.github.devlint/gitwand is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.github.devlint/gitwand MCP server under?

io.github.devlint/gitwand declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
