GopherFetch addresses the common challenge of quickly understanding new GitHub repositories, especially those lacking clear documentation. It functions as an MCP server that directly integrates with Claude Desktop, enabling users to simply provide a GitHub URL. The tool then intelligently fetches the repository's file structure, filters out irrelevant files like binaries and boilerplate, ranks the most important source files, and compiles a clean Markdown summary. This digest includes a full directory tree and the contents of the top 10 relevant files, effectively generating an on-the-fly README for LLMs to consume, significantly streamlining the process of code comprehension.
