Use automatic setup when your coding tool is supported by the GitHits hybrid CLI. 
npx githits@latest init
The CLI detects installed tools and writes the local MCP server configuration for each supported harness. Authentication is handled automatically for common local setup.

​
Automatic install support

npx githits@latest init supports automatic install for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code / Copilot, Cline, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Pi, Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, and OpenCode.

​
What gets configured

GitHits adds a local MCP server entry that starts the CLI on demand: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "githits": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "githits@latest", "mcp", "start"]
    }
  }
}
Your agent can then call GitHits tools when it needs open-source examples, dependency source navigation, package metadata, or documentation context. If it does not choose the tools on its own, use the prompts in Trigger GitHits manually.

​
Manual setup fallback

If your tool is not detected, use Manual Setup and add the same MCP server entry yourself.
