git-mcp-rs is a high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Rust. This tool allows AI Agents to access real-time GitHub repository data. It retrieves SemVer-sorted tags, file content, and directory trees without the need for local cloning. This functionality helps solve the issue of outdated dependency knowledge for large language models (LLMs).
