The reference server for local git — status, diff, log, commit, and branch operations on repositories you point it at. Your history becomes agent-writable, which is most of the point and all of the risk.
Feeds your agent current, version-specific library docs instead of whatever it half-remembers from training. Fixes a real failure mode — by routing your questions through someone else's service.
GitHub's official MCP server — lets an agent read repos, file issues, and push code with your credentials, which is exactly as useful and as dangerous as it sounds.
