Manito is an MCP tool designed for seamless querying and exploration of Unix man pages. It enhances the standard man page experience by providing a robust fallback mechanism: if a specific man page is unavailable, it intelligently retrieves and displays the command's help output, typically from `--help`. This ensures users always get relevant information, making it a comprehensive resource for command-line documentation within an MCP environment.
