GitHub MCP
UpThe official GitHub MCP server: read and modify repositories, manage issues and pull requests, run and monitor Actions, search code. Hosted variant with OAuth or a local binary with a personal access token. Foundational for dev agents.
Why this server
- Toolsets load in groups (repos, issues, actions) — no context bloat from unused tools
- The hosted variant connects via OAuth in a couple of clicks, no self-hosting or tokens
- The --read-only flag strictly blocks writes — safe even with a broad-scoped token
- Works with GitHub Enterprise via GITHUB_HOST, not just github.com
Usage examples
Prompt: File an issue for this bug and attach the stack trace
Result: The agent called issue_write, created the issue with a description and a label, and returned a link to the new ticket.
Prompt: Show which jobs failed in the latest CI run
Result: Using actions_list and get_job_logs the agent found the failed workflow and quoted the error line from the logs.
