by MissionSquad • DevOps & CI/CD

An MCP server that provides programmatic access to GitHub repository operations — file edits, branches, PRs, issues, searches, and more — for agents and automation.

Example Use Cases

1
Create, update, or batch-push files into GitHub repositories while automatically creating branches and preserving commit history.
2
Manage issues and pull requests programmatically (create, update, comment, review, merge, and sync branches).
3
Search code, issues/PRs, and users across GitHub repositories with advanced query syntax.

Description

This MCP server exposes a comprehensive set of GitHub API operations (file create/update, multi-file pushes, branches, issues, pull requests, searches, forks, commits, and reviews) so agents can manage repositories programmatically. It includes conveniences like automatic branch creation, batch file commits, and preservation of Git history without force-pushing. The server also supports advanced search across code, issues/PRs, and users, and allows supplying a dynamic GitHub personal access token per request.
