Gk Cli
This wraps the GitKraken CLI to give Claude direct access to git operations, PRs, issues, and commits across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira. You get tools for creating work items that span multiple repos, generating AI powered commits and pull requests, and managing issues without leaving your chat. The MCP server exposes GitKraken's cross provider APIs alongside standard git commands, so you can ask Claude to branch, commit, push, and open PRs in one conversation instead of context switching between terminals and browser tabs. Reach for this when you want an AI coding assistant that can actually execute git workflows, not just suggest commands you copy paste.

🚀 GitKraken CLI
gk is GitKraken on the command line. The core functionality is focused on "Work Items" which can be thought of as the feature or issue you are trying to tackle. This allows you to work with multiple repos at once and get the same UX as if you were in a monorepo. We also provide robust AI-powered commit messages and Pull Request generation. It also provides an MCP server that streamlines working with git and your Issue and git hosting providers.
GitKraken CLI is available on macOS, Windows, and Unix systems.
