Summary
- Converts GitHub URLs to gitmcp.io endpoints and provides CLI access via scripts/gitmcp.py for fetching docs, searching documentation semantically, and searching code via GitHub API
- Four core tools available per repository: fetch full documentation, semantic search within docs, exact-match code search, and fetch external URLs referenced in documentation
- Tool names are dynamically generated and prefixed with the repository name (e.g., fetch_llm_council_documentation for karpathy/llm-council)
- Recommended workflow: fetch documentation first for overview, then use semantic search for specific questions, code search for implementations, and URL fetch for external references
