## Description

The Git TODO Scanner is a Flask-based web application that scans GitHub repositories for TODO comments in code files. It clones repositories, analyzes text files for common TODO patterns, and presents the findings through both a user-friendly web interface and a RESTful API. The implementation includes MPCO (Model Protocol for Collaborative Operations) integration, allowing AI assistants to directly interact with the scanner through standardized endpoints. The server supports both local usage and remote access via Cloudflare Tunnels, making it valuable for developers who want to track outstanding tasks across their codebase or for teams conducting code quality reviews.
