GitHub MCP Server - List PRs, issues, repo info, and search code

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyWeb Search & ScrapingDeveloper Tools

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an AI assistant read GitHub repositories: list and view pull requests and issues, get repo info, and search code.

What you can do
List and view pull requests, with filters for state, head and base branch, sorting and paging, and optionally include the diff of a single PR. List and view issues, filtering by state, labels, assignee and creator, and optionally include comments. Get repository information and statistics for a given owner and repo. Search code across GitHub using GitHub code search syntax, with sorting and paging.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up GitHub activity while working: reviewing open pull requests, reading an issue thread, checking repository metadata, or finding code examples across GitHub. It is read-only, so it suits inspection and research rather than making changes to repositories.
Requirements
Runs as a local process via npm (npx or a global install). Requires a GitHub Personal Access Token supplied in the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, and network access to the GitHub API.
Before you install
The server needs a GitHub Personal Access Token in GITHUB_TOKEN; scope it as narrowly as possible, since its permissions govern what the assistant can reach. Queries and results are sent to the GitHub API. The listed tools only read data, but the token itself is a credential to protect.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Github in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
