FAQ from Easy MCP GitHub Tools Application

How do I authenticate with this server?

You must create a GitHub OAuth application, obtain a Client ID and Secret, and store them in client_credentials.json. Then visit /auth/login to authenticate and pass the X-ACCESS-TOKEN header with all API calls.

What are the runtime dependencies?

The server requires Python 3, the cryptography library (for Fernet encryption), and the FastAPI package. It uses SQLite for credential storage.

Where does user data live?

User credentials are stored in a local SQLite database at storage/sqlite_credentials.db. All GitHub operations are performed via the GitHub API, so repository data stays on GitHub.

What transport protocol does the server use?

The server exposes an HTTP API via FastAPI. Clients communicate over HTTP/HTTPS, typically from the easy MCP server.

Are there any known limits?

The README does not mention specific rate limits. However, the tool relies on GitHub’s API, so GitHub’s own rate limits apply. The encryption key must be generated and kept secure, and the OAuth app must be configured correctly.
