MCP error -32603: Failed to get git user.email: Command failed with ENOENT: git config user.email

Environment

• Windows 11
• WSL
• Cursor 0.49.6

Problem

Cursor calls git-commit-aider, which is running with the following configuration:

"git-commit-aider": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-git-commit-aider"
            ],
            "env": {
                "GIT_COMMITTER_NAME": "XXXX XXXXX",
                "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL": "XXXX@gmail.com"
            }
        }

However, I get the error such as this:

MCP error -32603: Failed to get git user.email: Command failed with ENOENT: git config user.email

I tried setting GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL in Roo Code's mcp_settings.json and it worked as expected -- when the tool is called, the git commit email is the same I have provided through GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL.

Not sure if it has anything to do with editor or environment

I think this is related to the current working directory that Cursor executes the MCP server commands in.

When I use Cursor I also encounter this error:

Git commit failed: fatel error: not a git repository: .git

After Cursor figured out that it needs a cwd, the commit works:

And the commit's email is set as expected:

Thanks for replying @MrOrz . So, as it currently stands, git-commit-aider is not supported under Cursor, correct?

[MrOrz]

As shown in the screenshots, the MCP server is working as long as Cursor fills in correct cwd (current working directory).

@akamalov would you try again with Cursor, but in your prompt you can explicitly ask Cursor to use the current project folder as cwd?
