Summary
Connects Claude to the canonical github/gitignore template repository maintained by GitHub. You get three tools: list all available templates by name, fetch the raw content of a specific template (case-sensitive, so "Node" or "Python"), and compose multiple templates into a single .gitignore with headers separating each section. Runs through Pipeworx's streamable HTTP gateway, so no local installation needed. Handy when you're scaffolding a new project and want to pull proper ignore rules without leaving your conversation or hunting through GitHub's web interface. Templates cover everything from language-specific patterns to OS and IDE artifacts.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

gitignore MCP — github/gitignore templates.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_templates | List all available .gitignore template names from github/gitignore. |
get_template | Fetch the raw .gitignore content for the named template (case-sensitive, e.g. "Node", "Python", "macOS"). |
compose | Compose a combined .gitignore from multiple templates, separated by headers. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gitignore": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gitignore/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Gitignore data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
