What is the GitHub MCP Server?

Connect your GitHub account to any AI agent and take full control of your source control and development workflows through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Repository Orchestration — List and manage your repositories programmatically, including retrieving star counts, languages, and detailed metadata
  • Issue Lifecycle — Monitor project status by listing open issues and creating new ones directly through your agent to maintain momentum
  • Code Intelligence — Search through repositories and files programmatically to find specific logic and retrieve raw file contents (base64) for analysis
  • Collaboration Visibility — Monitor pull requests and recent notifications to stay updated on team-wide development activity and code reviews
  • Resource Management — Access user profiles, organization memberships, and Gists to manage your complete GitHub presence programmatically

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your Personal Access Token (PAT) from GitHub (Settings > Developer Settings > PAT)
3. Ensure your token has the required scopes (repo, user, notifications)
4. Start managing your code and projects from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

No more manual toggling between browser tabs to check issue statuses. Your AI acts as your dedicated engineering coordinator.

Who is this for?

  • Software Engineers — instantly find code snippets across repositories and retrieve file contents using natural language
  • Team Leads — monitor repository activity and triage issues without leaving your communication tools
  • DevOps Engineers — automate repository discovery and monitor project notifications through simple AI queries
