MCP Server

GitHub MCP

Repos, PRs, issues, and code search via the GitHub MCP server

The GitHub MCP server exposes the GitHub API through the Model Context Protocol. Your agents can read repositories, list pull requests, comment on issues, search code, and trigger workflows — enabling DevOps automation and code review agents.
