GitMCP is a free, open-source, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that transforms any GitHub project (repositories or GitHub pages) into a documentation hub. It enables AI tools like Cursor to access up-to-date documentation and code, even if the LLM has never encountered them, thereby eliminating code hallucinations seamlessly.
Core Features
GitMCP supports two flavors:
- Specific Repository (
gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}or{owner}.gitmcp.io/{repo}): Use these when you primarily work with a select number of libraries. This ensures your AI assistant always targets the correct project, enhancing security and relevance by preventing access to unintended repositories. - Generic Server (
gitmcp.io/docs): Use this for maximum flexibility when you need to switch between different repositories frequently. The AI assistant will prompt you (or decide based on context) which repository to access for each request. Be mindful that this relies on correctly identifying the target repository each time.
Technical Advantages
GitMCP ensures AI assistants always have access to the latest documentation and code directly from the source. It provides accurate API usage and reliable code examples, even for niche, new, or rapidly changing libraries. By significantly reducing hallucinations and improving code correctness, GitMCP becomes a powerful tool for developers.
Deployment and Usage
GitMCP can be easily integrated into existing AI development toolchains. With simple configuration, developers can enable AI assistants to access the latest information from any GitHub repository without worrying about outdated or inaccurate information. The system provides complete tool definitions and error handling mechanisms to ensure reliable integration.
