Overview
Let Your Agents Instantly Understand Any GitHub Repo An MCP server that gives coding agents instant insight into any Git repository — no guessing, no hallucination. Share the following with your agent to get started: Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, and any MCP-compatible client. The @latest tag ensures you always get the most recent version. Agents that integrate with external libraries are flying blind. They read docs (if they exist), guess at APIs, and hallucinate patterns that don't match the actual code. The result: broken integrations, wrong function signatures, outdated usage patterns, hours of debugging.

- Ask questions about any public repo
Use `ask_repo` to query a repository by URL or `owner/repo` shorthand and get answers grounded in the actual source code.
- Target a specific branch, tag, or commit
Pass the optional `ref` parameter to `ask_repo` to analyze a particular version of the codebase instead of the default branch.
- Get architecture explanations with file citations
Ask the agent to explain how components connect, and receive answers traced back to specific files and line numbers.
- Review implementations for security or patterns
Prompt `ask_repo` to examine authentication flows, error handling, or existing patterns to inform new contributions.
