Most browser automation work still happens through a UI a human drives. GitHits MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Search public open-source code, documentation, metadata, vulnerabilities, changelogs, and examples.
GitHits connects AI coding agents to public open-source evidence across the full software development lifecycle: discovery, planning, research, implementation, debugging, and maintenance.
The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:
init — -no-browser or login --no-browser prints the login URL instead of launching a browserlogin — -force re-authenticates even if you are already logged ingemini-extension.json — GEMINI.mdCapability — MCP toolsFeedback — feedbackVariable — PurposeGITHITS_API_TOKEN — API token for authenticationGITHITS_AUTH_STORAGE — Override OAuth storage mode: keychain or fileGITHITS_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK — Disable npm latest-version update noticesGITHITS_TELEMETRY — Emit local timing diagnostics to stderrConfiguration is passed through the environment: GITHITS_API_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on npm as githits, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the browser automation group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. GitHits's toolset — init, login, gemini-extension.json and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by com.githits; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
