Description

When the GitKraken MCP is available to users, they will need a path to install it so that it functions correctly in each IDE.

  • Create a banner that can be used in various GitLens views with the following elements:

    • Heading: "Install GitKraken MCP for GitLens"
    • Body: "Leverage Git and Integration information from GitLens in AI chat."
    • Learn more link:
    • CTA:
      • Label: "Install GitKraken MCP"
      • command: run the command to install and setup MCP
    • Ensure that the banner is responsive and that the content flows correctly for wide and narrow layouts
  • Allow the banner to be closed/dismissed, and store this information so that other MCP banners are not displayed after one of them is dismissed.

  • Place the banner in the following GitLens Views:

    • Home View
    • Commit Graph
    • Visual History
    • GitLens Inspect
    • GitLens Settings
  • Do not show banners in IDEs that cannot support the MCP installation process
