FAQ from GitHub MCP Server

What is GitHub MCP Server and how does it differ from the GitHub API?

It acts as a lightweight MCP wrapper around the GitHub API, providing a simple tool‑ and resource‑based interface for common operations like user info, repos, and issues, without requiring direct API calls.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3 and the packages listed in requirements.txt (e.g., pip install). A GitHub personal access token is required, stored in a .env file.

What permissions does the GitHub token need?

The token requires repo (full control of private repositories), read:user (read user profile data), and user:follow (follow/unfollow users). Create one at https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens.
