GitManual MCP

An MCP server that generates step-by-step setup guides for GitHub repositories, determining OS compatibility and providing installation commands without running code.

Endpoint and access

get_setup_manual — Get a repo's setup manual

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

How to install or run a GitHub repository: whether it works on macOS, Windows or Linux (with reasons), ready-made downloads, install commands from the README, the parts it needs, and step-by-step commands to set it up from source. Facts come from the repo's own files, not guesses.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

One script that sets the repo up on the given system: bash for macOS and Linux, PowerShell for Windows. It stops at the first error, skips what's already installed and never starts servers. Show it to the user to read before running it.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (2 of 2 answered).

95th percentile latency: 415 ms

Maintenance history

Public check and source-refresh events. Editorial and ownership records remain private.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http gitmanual-mcp https://gitmanual.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add gitmanual-mcp --url https://gitmanual.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable gitmanual-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmanual-mcp": {
      "url": "https://gitmanual.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmanual-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://gitmanual.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start gitmanual-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "gitmanual-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gitmanual.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http gitmanual-mcp https://gitmanual.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Claude Desktop configuration

https://gitmanual.com/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmanual-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://gitmanual.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
