GGitMCP (official, remote)

Tested GitMCP's generic endpoint https://gitmcp.io/docs (server GitMCP 1.1.0; source idosal/git-mcp, Apache-2.0, 8,513 GitHub stars when checked; last push 2026-05-08). Initialize and tools/list worked with no account (5 tools). Of 3 real calls only match_common_libs_owner_repo_mapping passed (zod -> colinhacks/zod). fetch_generic_documentation for colinhacks/zod returned just a file path (22 chars), and search_generic_documentation answered that no documentation was found yet (being indexed); an earlier try on modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk also found nothing. Core docs tools not tested successfully.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): partial. 1 of 3 read calls passed anonymously; the docs fetch and search returned no documentation. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 11, 2026.

What we tested and what we didn't

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
