GitHits is installed through the hybrid CLI. It detects Claude Code and configures the GitHits MCP server automatically.

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 24 or later
  • Claude Code installed and available on your PATH

​
Installation

1

Run the hybrid CLI

From your terminal, run:
npx githits@latest init
The CLI configures Claude Code when it detects it. Authentication is handled automatically for common local setup.
2

Verify the MCP server is loaded

Restart Claude Code, then run /mcp inside a session. Confirm that plugin:githits:githits appears in the list of connected MCP servers.

​
Available slash commands

Once the plugin is loaded, the following slash commands are available in Claude Code:
CommandDescription
/githits:example <query>Search for a canonical code example
/githits:search <query>Run a unified indexed search
/githits:loginAuthenticate with your GitHits account
/githits:statusShow current authentication status
/githits:logoutRemove stored credentials
/githits:helpList available GitHits commands
Your agent can also call GitHits tools directly through MCP. If it does not choose them on its own, use manual trigger prompts.

​
Uninstall

To remove GitHits configuration from Claude Code, run: 
npx githits@latest init uninstall
This removes the MCP and plugin configuration but preserves your stored credentials. To also remove credentials, run npx githits@latest logout afterwards.
