Project overview

GitHub's official MCP Server connects compatible AI clients to repositories, code, issues, pull requests, Actions, and security-related data. You can use GitHub's hosted endpoint or run the server through Docker or a local binary, then limit the exposed surface with toolsets or individual tools. Available write operations depend on the permissions granted to the OAuth session or token.
