GitMCP is a free, open-source remote MCP server focused on eliminating AI code hallucinations by giving popular AI coding tools smart, read-only access to any GitHub project's documentation and code. It's simple to set up with no authentication, but is limited to public, read-only content and does not support write operations or private repository access.
GitMCP is a free, open-source, remote Model Context Protocol server that turns any GitHub repository or GitHub Pages site into a documentation hub AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and others) can query. It prioritizes a project's llms.txt file, falls back to an AI-optimized documentation version, and finally to README.md, giving AI tools access to up-to-date, accurate documentation and code so they hallucinate less. GitMCP offers per-repository endpoints (gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}) for targeted, secure access, plus a generic dynamic endpoint (gitmcp.io/docs) that lets the AI pick the repository at request time. It requires zero setup — no downloads, installs, signups, or authentication — and can also be self-hosted.
