This is a GitHub MCP server designed to enable MCP-compatible LLMs, such as Claude, to communicate with the GitHub API.
The GitHub MCP server is a specialized server that facilitates communication between Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible language models and the GitHub API. It is built using TypeScript and utilizes Octokit for making API requests to GitHub. The server allows for seamless interaction with GitHub, enabling tasks such as creating issues, retrieving repository information, and searching for repositories. The server can be tested using tools like MCP Inspector and Claude Desktop, providing a robust environment for developers to integrate and test their applications. The setup process involves cloning the repository, installing dependencies, and configuring environment variables. Once set up, the server can be run and tested locally, offering a practical solution for developers looking to leverage MCP technology with GitHub.
