Overview

What is GitHub MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides GitHub integration capabilities. It enables developers and AI assistants to interact with GitHub repositories through MCP tools, supporting repository management, file operations, and commit handling.

How to use GitHub MCP Server?

Install the package via npm (npm install @modelcontextprotocol/server-github), then add it to your MCP settings file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json) with the command node /path/to/dist/index.js and environment variables GITHUB_TOKEN_1 and GITHUB_OWNER_1. After configuration, the server exposes tools that can be invoked by an MCP client.

Frequently asked questions

What authentication is required?

GitHub personal access tokens are required. Tokens are provided via environment variables `GITHUB_TOKEN_<N>` along with the corresponding GitHub username via `GITHUB_OWNER_<N>`.

Can I use multiple GitHub accounts?

Yes. Multiple accounts can be configured by incrementing the number N (e.g., `GITHUB_TOKEN_1`, `GITHUB_TOKEN_2`) and using the `list_accounts` and `select_account` tools to switch between them.

What operations are supported?

The server supports repository management (create, clone, rename), file operations (push, pull), directory sync, commit operations (create, list), and account management (list, select). Each operation has a specific tool with typed parameters.

What are the runtime requirements?

The server runs on Node.js. It is built with `npm install && npm run build` and is executed as a Node process.

Where do files and data reside?

File data resides both on GitHub (remote repositories) and locally (the machine where the server runs). The server interacts with local directories and pushes/pulls files to/from GitHub repositories.
