GitHits: MCP Server Giving AI Agents Deep Insight into Dependencies
skvark · reddit · 2026-08-31
GitHits is an open-source MCP server and CLI designed to solve the issue where AI Agents can inspect application code but have a weak view of underlying dependencies. It indexes public open-source repos and docs, allowing agents to inspect specific package versions or Git refs, search symbols/docs, and view dependency graphs via MCP. The author demonstrates its use in tracing dependency bugs (e.g., in keyring-node and posthog-js) and it is now listed in the Claude Directory.
