Quick Start
Visit gitmcp.io and identify the repository you want to use. Add the MCP server URL in your IDE config: gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}. For example, edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json in Cursor to add the URL config. Or use the generic endpoint gitmcp.io/docs for dynamic repo selection. No downloads needed — runs in the cloud.
