GitHub
GitHub's official MCP server that connects AI tools to GitHub's platform for repository management, issue automation, and code analysis.
What is GitHub?
GitHub MCP Server is GitHub's official implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that connects AI tools directly to GitHub's platform. It enables AI agents, assistants, and chatbots to interact with GitHub through natural language, providing access to repository management, issue automation, code analysis, and workflow intelligence capabilities. The server solves the problem of bridging AI tools with GitHub's extensive API surface in a standardized, secure way.
Developers and teams who want to connect their AI tools (like Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or custom agents) to GitHub's platform for enhanced automation and natural language interactions. It's particularly valuable for those building AI-powered development workflows or integrating GitHub capabilities into AI assistants.
As GitHub's official MCP implementation, it offers reliable, up-to-date access to GitHub's complete API surface with proper authentication and security controls. The dual deployment options (remote hosted and local self-hosted) provide flexibility, while granular toolset configuration allows precise control over which GitHub capabilities are exposed to AI tools.
