MCP Git Ingest

adhikasp/mcp-git-ingest

The Mcp Git Ingest server provides tools to inspect and read GitHub repositories by exposing two capabilities: `github_directory_structure` for generating tree-like visualizations of a repository's file structure and `github_read_important_files` for retrieving the contents of specified files. It solves the problem of efficiently understanding a remote GitHub repository's layout and contents without requiring local cloning or manual exploration, by handling repository cloning, file traversal, and cleanup operations automatically.
