GitMCP is a free, open-source remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that turns any public GitHub repository or GitHub Pages site into a documentation hub for AI assistants. By swapping github.com for gitmcp.io in a repo URL, tools like Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf gain access to up-to-date docs and code, reducing LLM hallucinations.
Use cases
- give my AI coding assistant up-to-date docs for a GitHub library
- stop Cursor from hallucinating APIs of niche libraries
- connect Claude to a GitHub repo as an MCP server
- let an LLM read llms.txt and readme from any repository
- provide accurate code examples to an AI IDE
- set up a remote MCP server without hosting anything
When to choose
- you use MCP-compatible AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, VSCode/Cline) and work with public GitHub repos
- you code against new, niche, or fast-changing libraries the LLM doesn't know
- you want zero-setup, hosted MCP access to repository documentation
When to avoid
- you need AI access to private repositories
- you require a self-hosted or offline MCP server
- your workflow doesn't support MCP or custom server configuration
