Description
GitHits gives coding agents access to the open-source code your app depends on. Get real implementation examples, dependency source navigation, package inspection and documentation. Agents can grep and read your codebase. They can't grep and read the open-source code your app depends on. That's where they start guessing, retrying, and looping. GitHits builds a version-aware index on demand. Agents can search, navigate, and inspect the code behind their dependencies. CLI: npx githits@latest init

Could you build this?
Partial Creating an MCP server or API that fetches OSS code is possible, but continuously indexing, parsing, and semantically searching massive package registries and GitHub repositories in real time requires substantial data engineering.
What it would actually take: Building GitHits requires a backend data pipeline continuously syncing and indexing open-source ecosystems (npm, PyPI, crates.io, GitHub repos). It needs high-throughput AST parsing, symbol resolution, and high-performance code search indexing (like Zoekt or Sourcegraph-style trigram indexes) exposed via an API or MCP protocol to provide sub-second retrieval of relevant source definitions.
