📖 Introduction

GitHub to MCP bridges the gap between code repositories and AI assistants. Instead of manually describing APIs or copying code snippets into chat windows, this tool generates a standardized interface that allows AI systems to programmatically explore, read, and interact with any GitHub repository.

The generated MCP servers provide tools that AI assistants can invoke to read files, search code, list directory structures, and call API endpoints discovered within the repository. This enables AI assistants to have deep, structured access to codebases without requiring manual context management.

🔌 What is MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that defines how AI assistants communicate with external tools and data sources. MCP servers expose "tools" that AI models can invoke, along with "resources" that provide context and "prompts" that guide interactions.

When you connect an MCP server to an AI assistant like Claude Desktop, the assistant gains the ability to call the tools defined by that server. For example, a GitHub MCP server might expose tools like read_file, search_code, or list_pull_requests, w
