Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like the MCP server to support remote configuration, especially understanding which remote to pull from / push to etc

Describe the solution you'd like
Let's start by adding a tool to list the remote URLs

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't want to limit it to GH / BB / GL - when I use git locally I don't care, and I don't want the entire GH MCP server just to be able to push across forks

Additional context
I'm open to contributing if that's an option

Research direction

Start by locating the Git MCP server and its existing tool definitions, then check how Git commands are invoked. Done means a tool lists the repository's remote URLs without depending on GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
