README

SvnMcpServer

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in C# that exposes Subversion (SVN) repository operations as tools for AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio and VS Code.

Once connected, you can interact with your SVN working copy using natural language — asking Copilot to check status, review diffs, write commit messages, view history, and more — without leaving your IDE.

Requirements

.NET 8 SDK or later
svn.exe available on your system PATH (or configured via SVN_EXE environment variable — see Configuration)
Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14+ or VS Code with GitHub Copilot

Building

Clone the repository and publish as a self-contained executable:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/SvnMcpServer.git
cd SvnMcpServer

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true ^
  -p:PublishSingleFile=true ^
  -o C:\tools\SvnMcpServer

This produces a single SvnMcpServer.exe with no external .NET runtime dependency.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`SvnStatus`	Get working copy status for a path
`SvnDiff`	Show diff of local changes vs HEAD
`SvnLog`	View recent commit history
`SvnUpdate`	Update working copy to HEAD
`SvnAdd`	Add a file to version control
`SvnCommit`	Commit changes with a message
`SvnRevert`	Revert local changes to a file

Configuration

SVN executable location

By default the server resolves svn via the system PATH. To use a specific executable (e.g. TortoiseSVN's command-line client), set the SVN_EXE environment variable:

SVN_EXE=C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe

This can be set in your mcp.json (see below) so it is configured per-machine without changing the code.

Connecting to Visual Studio

MCP support requires Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 or later and GitHub Copilot agent mode.

Create an mcp.json file at one of the following locations:

Location	Scope
`%USERPROFILE%\.mcp.json`	All solutions for this user
`<SOLUTIONDIR>\.mcp.json`	This solution — can be committed to source control
`<SOLUTIONDIR>\.vs\mcp.json`	This solution, this user only — do not commit
`<SOLUTIONDIR>\.vscode\mcp.json`	Shared with VS Code

Add the following to your chosen mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "svn": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "C:\\tools\\SvnMcpServer\\SvnMcpServer.exe",
      "env": {
        "SVN_EXE": "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\svn.exe"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once saved, Visual Studio will automatically detect the file, start the server, and make the tools available in Copilot Chat. Open the Copilot Chat panel, switch to Agent Mode, then click the tools icon to enable the SVN tools.

Note: Tools are disabled by default and must be manually enabled the first time.

Connecting to VS Code

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "svn": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "C:\\tools\\SvnMcpServer\\SvnMcpServer.exe",
      "env": {
        "SVN_EXE": "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\svn.exe"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open Copilot Chat, select Agent from the mode dropdown, and the SVN tools will be available.

Example Prompts

Once connected and tools are enabled, you can use natural language in Copilot Chat:

Checking your working copy

What files have I changed in C:\projects\myapp?
Show me the diff for src\Controllers\HomeController.cs

Committing

Add NewService.cs to SVN and commit it with the message "Add payment service"
Review my uncommitted changes and suggest a commit message
Revert my changes to Web.config

Viewing history

Show me the last 10 commits on C:\projects\myapp\trunk
