Overview

What is GitMCP?

GitMCP is a free, open‑source, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that transforms any GitHub project (repositories or GitHub Pages sites) into a documentation hub. It enables AI tools like Cursor to access up‑to‑date documentation and code, eliminating code hallucinations.

How to use GitMCP?

Choose a URL format: gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} for a specific repository, {owner}.gitmcp.io/{repo} for a GitHub Pages site, or gitmcp.io/docs for dynamic access to any repository. Then add that URL as an MCP server in your AI assistant (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VSCode, Cline, Highlight AI, Augment Code, or Msty AI) using the provided configuration snippets. No downloads, installations, or signups are required.
