GitHub Brain complements (but does not replace) the official GitHub MCP server. It stores GitHub data in a local database for:

GitHub Brain is programmed in Markdown.
npm i -g github-brain
Rerun to update. sudo may be required on some systems.
Alternatively use npx to run without installing globally and needing sudo.
npx github-brain@latest
github-brain
Or with npx:
npx github-brain@latest
Launches the interactive TUI where you can:
.env directlyRe-run pull anytime to update the database with new GitHub data.
The app loads environment variables from a .env file in the GitHub Brain's home directory - ~/.github-brain by default.
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token
ORGANIZATION=my-org
| Argument | Description |
| :------- | :----------------------------------------- |
| -m | Home directory. Default: ~/.github-brain |
Use [fine-grained personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens).
**Private organizations:** Token needs read access to discussions, issues, metadata, and pull requests. [Generate token](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new?name=github-brain&description=http%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fwham%2Fgithub-brain&issues=read&pull_requests=read&discussions=read).
**Public organizations:** Any token works (data is publicly accessible).
Start the MCP server using the local database:
github-brain mcp
Or with npx:
npx github-brain@latest mcp
| Argument | Variable | Description |
| :------- | :------------- | :----------------------------------------- |
| -o | ORGANIZATION | GitHub organization. Required. |
| -m | | Home directory. Default: ~/.github-brain |
