GitMCP is a versatile tool designed to enhance AI assistants by providing them with direct access to the latest documentation and code from GitHub repositories. It eliminates the issue of code hallucinations by ensuring that AI tools like Cursor can access accurate and relevant information, even for niche or rapidly changing libraries. GitMCP supports two main configurations: specific repository access for targeted use and a generic server for flexible access across multiple repositories. This tool is particularly beneficial for developers who frequently switch between different projects or work with specialized libraries. GitMCP is cloud-based, requiring no setup, and is open-source, free, and private, ensuring user data is not collected or stored. It supports various AI assistants, including Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VSCode, Cline, Highlight AI, and Augment Code, making it a versatile addition to any developer's toolkit.

Features

• Latest Documentation on ANY GitHub Project: Provides seamless access to project documentation and code with smart search capabilities.
• No More Hallucinations: Ensures AI assistants provide accurate and relevant answers.
• Zero Setup: Cloud-based service requiring no downloads or installations.
• Embedded Chat: Allows direct interaction with repository documentation through an in-browser chat.
• Open, Free, and Private: Open-source and free to use, with no personal data collection.
