github/github-mcp-server
GitHub's official MCP Server
Exposes GitHub's API capabilities through the Model Context Protocol, enabling AI agents to browse repositories, manage issues and pull requests, analyze code patterns, and trigger CI/CD workflows via natural language. Operates as both a remote HTTP service (hosted by GitHub with OAuth/PAT authentication) and a local binary, integrating seamlessly with VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible hosts. Provides granular toolset configuration, policy governance controls, and an insiders track for experimental features like security analysis and workflow intelligence.
