What to know about GitHub MCP Server

GitHub’s MCP server exposes repository, issue, and pull request tools to an MCP client.

Agents that need to inspect repositories, issues, or pull requests, with optional repository workflow actions.

Capabilities

  • Select repository, issue, and pull request toolsets or individual tools.
  • Enable read-only mode to disable tools that modify GitHub resources.

Access and use

  • The configured token or app permissions determine which GitHub resources and operations are available.
  • Write-capable tools can change repositories or work items; use read-only mode when changes are outside the task.

Based on upstream documentation checked .
