How does this differ from the official GitHub MCP?
The official GitHub MCP server was not fully usable and does not support GitHub ProjectV2 (kanban), which requires GraphQL. This server provides a GraphQL-based alternative.

The Everforth GitHub MCP Server is a simple MCP server that sends GraphQL queries to the GitHub API. It is designed for users who need secure handling of GitHub access tokens (avoiding exposure to Cursor Agent) and require access to GitHub ProjectV2 (kanban) features, which the official GitHub MCP server does not support well.
Add the github-cli section to your Cursor mcp.json configuration with your GitHub personal access token in the env field. Restart Cursor. Optionally, add instruction rules for owner and repository names in the Rules section.
The official GitHub MCP server was not fully usable and does not support GitHub ProjectV2 (kanban), which requires GraphQL. This server provides a GraphQL-based alternative.
The server runs via Docker. A public image (`ikutani41/github-cli-mcp-server`) is provided; alternatively, you can build your own using the provided Dockerfile after running `npm install`.
All data is fetched live from GitHub’s API. No local storage is used.
The README does not list any specific limitations. The server focuses on GraphQL queries to GitHub.
The server communicates via stdin/stdout over Docker. Authentication uses a GitHub personal access token set via the `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable.
