Provisions an empty bare repository in the caller's scope and returns it with its clone URLs. Answers 201. The name must be unique within the scope — a repeat is a 409, never a silent overwrite of an existing repo. The org comes from the validated principal, so a repo is always born owned by the caller's own tenant.

Request

4 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`description`	body	string	—	Description is a free-form blurb, max 4KiB.
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the repo's handle, unique within the scope, and the last segment of both clone URLs.
`project`	body	string	—	Project narrows the repo to a sub-scope of the org.
`public`	body	boolean	—	Public grants ANONYMOUS read (fetch) only; push and the whole control plane stay org-authed.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`201`	repoView	created

201 body — 14 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`branches`	body	string[]	—	Branches are the repo's branch names.
`cloneUrl`	body	string	—	CloneURL is the HTTPS smart-HTTP remote `git clone` takes.
`createdAt`	body	string	—	CreatedAt is RFC 3339 UTC.
`defaultBranch`	body	string	—	DefaultBranch is where HEAD points on a fresh repo ("main").
`description`	body	string	—	Description is the caller-supplied blurb (max 4KiB).
`head`	body	string	—	Head is the resolved HEAD commit, empty on an empty repo.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the repo's stable, prefixed identifier ("repo_" + 128 random bits).
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the org-unique handle, and the last path segment of both URLs below.
`org`	body	string	—	Org owns the repo — the gateway-minted X-Org-Id, and the isolation key.
`project`	body	string	—	Project is the optional sub-scope the repo lives in; absent for the org's default scope.
`public`	body	boolean	—	Public grants ANONYMOUS read (fetch) only; push and the whole control plane stay org-authed.
`sizeBytes`	body	integer	—	SizeBytes is the repo's measured on-disk size, re-measured on create, after each push, and after a gc.
`sshUrl`	body	string	—	SSHURL is the scp-style SSH remote (git@host:org/repo.git).
`updatedAt`	body	string	—	UpdatedAt is RFC 3339 UTC, empty until the first write.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches git through the git tool, which names its 56 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \

  -d '{
