What is the iTerm2 Worktree MCP Server?

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that helps developers manage Git worktrees through the iTerm2 terminal. It can create, close, and switch worktrees, and automatically open new tabs in iTerm2.

How to use the iTerm2 Worktree MCP Server?

After adding the MCP server via Claude Code, you can use commands to create, close, and switch worktrees. The server will automatically detect worktree tabs in iTerm2 and provide navigation functionality.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for developers who need to handle multiple Git branches simultaneously. It can create independent worktrees for each feature and provide intuitive tab management in iTerm2.

Main features

Create a worktree
Create a new Git worktree based on the specified feature name, branch name, and folder, and open a new tab in iTerm2.
Close a worktree
After ensuring that the worktree has committed and pushed changes, safely close and clean up the worktree.
Open a worktree
Open an existing worktree in a new iTerm2 tab, supporting forced overwriting of existing tabs.
Switch worktrees
Quickly switch to the iTerm2 tab of a specific worktree, supporting selection by name or tab ID.
Display active worktrees
List all running worktrees and their corresponding iTerm2 tab information.
Intelligent tab detection
Without relying on metadata files, analyze the working directories of iTerm2 tabs in real - time to discover worktrees.
Advantages
Improve work efficiency: Reduce the time for manual worktree management through automated operations.
Enhance user experience: Deeply integrate with iTerm2 to provide more intuitive tab management.
Isolate development environments: Each worktree is independent, avoiding interference between different branches.
Limitations
Requires support from iTerm2 and Claude Code.
Not applicable to projects without Git configuration.
May require a certain learning curve for novice users.

How to use

Install the MCP server
Use the Claude Code command to add the iTerm2 Worktree MCP server to your environment.
Create a worktree
Create a new worktree by specifying the feature name, branch name, and worktree folder.
View active worktrees
Use the `activeWorktrees` command to view all current worktrees and their associated iTerm2 tabs.
Switch worktrees
Use the `switchToWorktree` command to quickly switch to the tab of a specific worktree.
Close a worktree
After confirming that the worktree has committed and pushed changes, use the `closeWorktree` command to close and clean up the worktree.

Usage examples

Create a worktree for a new feature
When developing a new feature, create an independent worktree to avoid affecting the main branch.
Switch back to the worktree of an old feature
After completing the current feature, quickly switch back to the previous worktree to continue development.
Close a completed worktree
After completing a feature, safely close the worktree and clean up resources.
