But why would we need an MCP server for a github repo? Sorry, I am unable to understand the use case.

It’s one of my favourite MCP use cases. I have cloned projects and used the file browser MCP for this, but this looks great.

It allows you to ask questions about how an entire system works. For example the other day “this GitHub action requires the binary X. Is it in the repo, downloading it, or building it on deploy, or something else.” Or “what tools does this repo used to implement full text search? Give me an overview”
