概览

What is GitHub MCP Server?

GitHub MCP Server enables AI assistants to interact with GitHub through standardized interfaces, allowing AI models to perform GitHub operations like creating repositories, managing files, and working with issues and pull requests. It is designed for developers using AI-assisted coding workflows with MCP-compatible tools.

How to use GitHub MCP Server?

Install Node.js, create a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with repository and user permissions, then configure an mcp.json file in your user directory (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json) with the command npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github and the token as an environment variable. Use a compatible AI assistant, such as Cursor, to execute GitHub operations via natural language.

Key features of GitHub MCP Server

常见问题

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI assistants to interact with external systems and APIs through standardized interfaces.

What permissions does the GitHub PAT need?

The fine-grained token requires repository permissions (Read and write for Administration, Contents, Issues, Pull requests) and user permission (Read-only).

Where is the configuration file located?

The configuration file `mcp.json` is placed in the user directory under `.cursor/mcp.json`, for example `~/.cursor/mcp.json` on macOS/Linux or `C:\Users\YourUsername\.cursor\mcp.json` on Windows.

What runtime does the server require?

Node.js must be installed on the system to run the MCP server.

How do I troubleshoot permission errors?

Ensure your GitHub Personal Access Token has the necessary permissions for the operations you are trying to perform, and check that the token has not expired.
