概要

What is GitHub Explorer MCP?

GitHub Explorer MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides GitHub repository information—including file content, directory structure, and other metadata—for MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor. It is built for developers who need to query GitHub repositories programmatically through AI assistants.

How to use GitHub Explorer MCP?

Install the npm package globally, then run github-explorer-mcp (stdio mode) or github-explorer-mcp-sse (HTTP/SSE mode). Configure MCP clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) by adding a JSON entry pointing to the npx command. Alternatively, build and run from source or use Docker.

FAQ from GitHub Explorer MCP

What runtime does GitHub Explorer MCP require?

It requires Node.js 18 or newer because it uses modern Web APIs like ReadableStream.

Can I use HTTP mode instead of stdio?

Yes; run github-explorer-mcp-sse to start the server in HTTP/SSE mode, which also provides a basic web status page.

How does the caching system work?

The server efficiently caches repository data to reduce the number of GitHub API calls made during repeated queries.

Are there any planned tools not yet available?

Yes; git_search and git_diff are listed as "Coming Soon" but are not yet implemented.

How do I contribute to GitHub Explorer MCP?

Contributions are welcome via Pull Requests on the project’s repository (licensed under MIT).
