Description

This server connects GitHub's REST API to the Model Context Protocol so LLMs and agent frameworks (e.g., Claude Desktop) can query and act on GitHub data. It exposes numerous tools (searching repositories, issues, commits, code, users, topics, labels; listing and fetching issues and pull requests) and is configured using a GitHub personal access token. The project is designed for local deployment or embedding into agent workflows to enable programmatic, conversational access to GitHub content.
