# GitHub MCP Connector A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server that connects **Claude** to **GitHub**. It exposes 120+ GitHub REST API operations as MCP tools, so Claude (Desktop, Code, or any MCP client) can search and read repositories, files, and commit history; triage and comment on issues; review, open, and merge pull requests; drive CI (read logs, re-run, dispatch); inspect security alerts; and—optionally—make changes (open/merge PRs, submit reviews, manage labels/assignees, commit files, cut releases). Every write is gated by a single read-only switch. It's a small, dependency-light Python package (`mcp` + `httpx`) that you point at a GitHub token. It supports both stdio (the default for Claude Desktop/Code) and streamable HTTP transports, and works against github.com or GitHub Enterprise Server. ## Features - 🔍 **Search & discover** repositories, issues, PRs, commits, code, and users — plus find reusable repos (across everything your token can see, license/activity-aware) for what you're building - 📦 **Repositories** — metadata, branches, tags, file contents, directory listings, languages, topics, collaborators, your repo list; create/fork repos and update settings - 🧾 **Commits** — history, single-commit detail, diffs between refs, and set commit statuses - 🐛 **Issues** — list, read, create, comment, read comments, edit/close, label, assign, lock/unlock, milestones - 🔀 **Pull requests** — list, read, diffs/files/commits, comments, open, update, merge, review, and request reviewers - ⚙️ **Actions & releases** — list workflows/runs/jobs, read failed-job logs, re-run/dispatch/cancel/**schedule** workflows, commit statuses & check runs, full release lifecycle (create/edit/delete, changelog notes, assets) & tags - 🔐 **Security** — secret-scanning, code-scanning, and Dependabot alerts (list each or all-in-one, fetch one by number, dismiss/resolve, and open tracking issues per alert) - 🔔 **Notifications** — list and mar…
