Server URL: https://gitmcp.io/docs

Our hands-on result: Partial 3 of 6 tasks passed, tested Oct 16, 2026 with MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client).

Claude setup

https://gitmcp.io/docs

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
2. Name it gitmcp and paste the URL: https://gitmcp.io/docs
3. Click Add. No sign-in is needed.
4. Start a new chat and turn the connector on from the tools menu.

We ran the hands-on test in a reference client, not in Claude. This config follows Claude's documented format for remote (Streamable HTTP) servers. If it fails for you, tell us and we will retest.
