🚀 AI-Optimized for Token Efficiency

This server is designed with AI agents in mind:

Response Formats

Format	Use Case	Token Savings
`compact`	Discovery, lists, status checks	80-97% smaller
`json`	Full details when needed	Full response
`markdown`	Human-readable display	Formatted text

Real-World Savings

Resource	Full JSON	Compact	Savings
Commit	~3,000 chars	~100 chars	97%
Issue	~2,500 chars	~150 chars	94%
Repository	~4,000 chars	~200 chars	95%
PR Overview	~20,000 chars	~1,800 chars	91% (GraphQL)

Smart Usage

// Default: Use compact for most operations
const issues = await callMCPTool("github_list_issues", {
  owner: "user", repo: "repo",
  limit: 10,
  response_format: "compact"  // 94% smaller!
});

// Use json only when you need every field
const fullIssue = await callMCPTool("github_get_issue", {
  owner: "user", repo: "repo",
  issue_number: 42,
  response_format: "json"
});

Combined with our code-first architecture (98% token reduction), you get the most efficient GitHub MCP server available.
