Overview
What is Gitingest-MCP?
Gitingest-MCP is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the gitingest tool, enabling MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cline, Cursor, and Windsurf to quickly extract information from GitHub repositories — including repository summaries, project directory structure, and file content.
How to use Gitingest-MCP?
Install the server via Smithery (npx @smithery/cli@latest install @puravparab/gitingest-mcp), or configure it manually by adding a gitingest-mcp entry to your MCP client's mcpServers JSON configuration (using uvx from GitHub or a local clone). After setup, any MCP-compatible client can invoke the server's tools to fetch repository data.
