01 · Install Git Hits

before you install - you'll need

Set GITHITS_AUTH_STORAGE before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add githits-com-githits-cli --transport http https://mcp.githits.com

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

  "mcpServers": {
    "githits-com-githits-cli": {
      "url": "https://mcp.githits.com"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.githits.com

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package githits - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry vendor namespace com.githits - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
