Your Question

I apologize in advance if this is known issue, and I could not find.

I cannot get Claude to switch branches in my repository.

Thanks for helping clarify for a newbie.

Per the README, this is not a feature currently supported by the Git MCP server (I assume this is what you meant, rather than GitHub). modelcontextprotocol/servers#166 is an open PR proposing to add this functionality.
