Git MCP

Git MCP is a free, open-source server that transforms any GitHub project into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint, enabling AI assistants to access and understand a project's documentation without any setup.

Features

• GitHub Project Documentation Access: Allows AI assistants to access the documentation of any public GitHub repository via an MCP endpoint.
• Semantic Search: Provides semantic search over project documentation to optimize token usage and retrieve relevant information efficiently.
• Zero Setup Required: No configuration or modification needed; works out of the box for any public repository.
• Privacy Focused: Does not collect or store personally identifiable information or queries. No authentication required.
• Self-hosting Available: As open-source software, users can deploy their own instance.
• Multiple Access Methods:
  • Direct URL: gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} for repositories
  • Custom domain: {owner}.gitmcp.io/{repo} for GitHub Pages
  • Dynamic endpoint: gitmcp.io/docs for flexible repository access
• Tooling:
  • fetch_<repo-name>_documentation: Fetches documentation from a specified repository (prefers llms.txt, falls back to README.md or other docs).
  • search_<repo-name>_documentation: Performs semantic search within repository documentation.
  • Generic tools (fetch_generic_documentation, search_generic_documentation) for dynamic endpoint usage.
• MCP Standard: Implements the Model Context Protocol for structured, external context retrieval by AI assistants.
• Compatibility: Works with any AI assistant that supports MCP (e.g., Cursor, VSCode, Claude, Copilot, etc.).
• Open Source: Licensed under the MIT License.
• Respects robots.txt: For GitHub Pages, checks robots.txt before accessing content.

Pricing

• Free: Git MCP is available free of charge to the community.
