git-mcp vs McpVanguard

git-mcp: GitMCP is a free, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that turns any GitHub project into a dynamic documentation hub. It allows AI assistants to access the latest code and documentation directly, significantly reducing hallucinations and improving code correctness.; McpVanguard: McpVanguard is a security gateway for MCP agents that inspects traffic in real time and enforces security policy before sensitive calls reach the underlying tool. It works in local-first mode wrapping stdio MCP servers and in gateway mode exposing hardened SSE and Streamable HTTP endpoints. Transparent integration without rewriting existing MCP servers.
