GitHub MCP Server

Repos, issues and pull requests from the agent loop.

Official — published by the vendor of the system it connects to.

Read and write repositories, open and review pull requests, search code across an organisation, and manage issues and branches. Scoped to whatever your personal access token allows, so a read-only token keeps the agent read-only.

Install GitHub MCP Server

Paste this into your MCP client config — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf all read the same shape — then restart the client.
