Side by side
| Server | Install | Source | Shared tags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Git MCP (cyanheads) | npx -y @cyanheads/git-mcp-server | Community | git, version-control, repo |
| Git | npx -y ./ | Official | git, repo, reference |
| Bitbucket MCP | npx -y @nexus2520/bitbucket-mcp-server | Community | bitbucket, git, pull-requests |
How to choose
Prefer the official server when one exists, unless its install path or auth model does not fit. Prefer the smaller surface area: a server that exposes four tools you use beats one that exposes forty you do not, because every definition costs context on every request.
