About

Reference GitHub MCP server. Surfaces the GitHub REST + GraphQL APIs as tools the model can call directly: list repos, read file contents at any ref, search code, open + comment on issues, create branches + PRs, manage workflow runs. Auth via a personal-access-token env var. The single most-used integration after filesystem.
