But why would we need an MCP server for a github repo? Sorry, I am unable to understand the use case.
Same here. Can't we just give the repo URL in Cursor/Windsurf to use the search tool to get the context? :thinking:
What does this mean? How does it work? How can I understand how it works? The requirements, limitations, constraints? The landing page tells me nothing! Worse, it doesn't have any links or suggestions as to how I could possibly learn how it works.

What does this mean??
> GitMCP serves as a bridge between your GitHub repository's documentation and AI assistants by implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When an AI assistant requires information from your repository, it sends a request to GitMCP. GitMCP retrieves the relevant content and provides semantic search capabilities, ensuring efficient and accurate information delivery.
MCP is a protocol that defines a number of concrete resource types (tools, prompts, etc.) -- each of which have very specific behaviors, semantics, etc. -- and none of which are identified by this project's documentation as what it actually implements!
Specifically what aspects of the MCP are you proxying here? Specifically how do you parse a repo's data and transform it into whatever MCP resources you're supporting? I looked for this information and found it nowhere?
We built an open source remote MCP server that can automatically serve documentation from every Github project. Simply replace github.com with gitmcp.io in the repo URL - and you get a remote MCP server that serves and searches the documentation from this repo (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, readme.md, etc). Works with github.io as well. Repo here: https://github.com/idosal/git-mcp
What does etc include? Does this operate on a single content file from the specified GitHub repo?

EDIT: Oh wait, lol, I looked closer and it seems that the difference is that the server runs on your server instead which is like the single most insane thing I can think of someone choosing to do when the reference Github MCP server exists.
How does this differ from the reference Github MCP server? https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/sr...

Getting "@ SSE error: undefined" in Cursor for a repo I added. Is there also not a way to force a MCP server to be used? Haiku doesn't pick it up in Cursor.

Or maybe I'm so out of the loop it's as obvious as "git" is, I dunno.

I’ll tell it to look at that PR to gain context about what was previously changed.
