GitHub MCP Server mcp

Issues, pull requests, Actions and code search on the repositories a token can reach.

Third-party software. Forgeprint hosts none of this code: it is an installation recipe for a project somebody else publishes and maintains. Review the permissions below before installing.

Upstream

What it can reach

Reads and writes every repository the token can reach: issues, pull requests, workflow runs and file contents.

It needs GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN. Create it at the upstream with the narrowest scope that works and put it in your environment — an agent never enters a secret for you.

Install

claude-code

claude mcp add-json github '{"type":"http","url":"https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer $GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"}}'

gemini-cli

gemini mcp add github https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Only agents whose command syntax has been verified are listed. A missing agent is one nobody has confirmed, not one that does not work.
