I've been using GitMCP.io + Github Copilot for this problem specifically (AI assistant + accurate docs). The downside is that you need to add a separate MCP server for each repository, but the qualitative difference in agent mode is incomparable.

I used it recently to do a major refactor and upgrade to MLFlow version 3.0. Their documentation is a horrid mess right now, but the MCP server made it a breeze because i could just query the assistant to browse their codebase. Would have taken me hours extra myself.

How does GitMCP compare to Context7

Not sure, i can't run it since i can't install Node.js on my work environment. What is your experience with Context7 like?

As for GitMCP: I think the url fetching tool of the docs it does is not great, but the code searching tool is quite good. Regardless, i remain open to alternatives, not stuck to this yet.
