GitHub MCP Server
The GitHub MCP Server connects AI tools directly to GitHub's platform. This gives AI agents, assistants, and chatbots the ability to read repositories and code files, manage issues and PRs, analyze code, and automate workflows. All through natural language interactions.
Use Cases
- Repository Management: Browse and query code, search files, analyze commits, and understand project structure across any repository you have access to.
- Issue & PR Automation: Create, update, and manage issues and pull requests. Let AI help triage bugs, review code changes, and maintain project boards.
- CI/CD & Workflow Intelligence: Monitor GitHub Actions workflow runs, analyze build failures, manage releases, and get insights into your development pipeline.
- Code Analysis: Examine security findings, review Dependabot alerts, understand code patterns, and get comprehensive insights into your codebase.
- Team Collaboration: Access discussions, manage notifications, analyze team activity, and streamline processes for your team.
Built for developers who want to connect their AI tools to GitHub context and capabilities, from simple natural language queries to complex multi-step agent workflows.
本地增强版说明
该仓库基于 github/github-mcp-server 自定义扩展，方便在本地无容器环境下快速部署，并支持一键同步本地代码到 GitHub。与上游项目的主要差异如下：
新增功能
sync_local_repository 工具：允许 MCP 客户端读取本地目录（遵守 .gitignore，跳过二进制），可选自动创建仓库，并在单次提交中推送至 GitHub；支持 max_files 限制和分支指定。get_org_members 工具：获取组织成员列表，支持按角色筛选（all/admin/member）和分页。list_outside_collaborators 工具：列出组织的外部协作者（有仓库访问权限但非成员的用户）。
Bug 修复
- 网络错误 panic 修复（来自 PR #1506）：修复获取原始内容时网络错误导致的空指针异常。
部署优化
- 去 Docker 化：默认使用
go build 生成原生二进制，可直接在 Windsurf/VS Code 等本地 MCP Host 配置 github-mcp-server.exe，无需 Docker Desktop。
- 配置示例更新：README 与
.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json 展示了使用 PAT 直连本地可执行文件的推荐做法，适合不方便使用远程 MCP 的场景。
如需使用官方容器镜像或最新功能，请参阅上游仓库；本仓库会按需回合 upstream 更新并保持差异说明。
Remote GitHub MCP Server
The remote GitHub MCP Server is hosted by GitHub and provides the easiest method for getting up and running. If your MCP host does not support remote MCP servers, don't worry! You can use the local version of the GitHub MCP Server instead.
Prerequisites
- A compatible MCP host with remote server support (VS Code 1.101+, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Any applicable policies enabled
Install in VS Code
For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons above. Once you complete that flow, toggle Agent mode (located by the Copilot Chat text input) and the server will start. Make sure you're using VS Code 1.101 or later for remote MCP and OAuth support.
Alternatively, to manually configure VS Code, choose the appropriate JSON block from the examples below and add it to your host configuration:
