GitMCP MCP Server

Put an end to code hallucinations! GitMCP is a free, open-source, remote MCP server for any GitHub project

Install

npx mcp-remote https://gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}

Example config (Cursor / Claude Desktop)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses "servers" instead of "mcpServers" (why). On Windows, wrap npx with cmd /c (fix).
