GitHits CLI provides AI coding agents with a crucial code context layer, allowing them to access public open-source evidence across the software development lifecycle. It runs a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling agents to search indexed packages, read documentation, inspect package health, and find source-cited examples to enhance their problem-solving capabilities.
