GitHub

Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows from a GitHub account.

[git][issues][pull-requests][ci-cd]

GitHub's own MCP server, giving a model direct access to GitHub: reading and searching code, opening and commenting on issues and pull requests, managing branches, and inspecting Actions workflow runs.

Ships as a single Go binary and a Docker image, and is also available as a hosted remote server so you don't have to run anything locally.
