How does this differ from the reference Github MCP server?

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/sr...

EDIT: Oh wait, lol, I looked closer and it seems that the difference is that the server runs on your server instead which is like the single most insane thing I can think of someone choosing to do when the reference Github MCP server exists.

Just to be clear, GitMCP isn't a repository management tool. Its sole purpose is to make documentation accessible to AI in ways the current tools do not (e.g., semantic search, not necessarily limited to a repository), with minimal overhead for users. GitMCP itself is a free, public, open-source repository. The tool doesn't have access to PII and doesn't store agent queries.

This literally looks like spyware to me. Crazy.
