github-mcp-server: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/go-sdk-tool-migrator.md

go-sdk-tool-migrator is an agent for Claude Code from github/github-mcp-server. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialized coding agent for moving MCP tools from one Go SDK to another: from mark3labs/mcp-go to modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for AI applications to use external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Updating MCP tool imports and code, migrating a selected Go toolset and its tests, removing ignored build tags when required, and preparing migration guidance.
Why use it?
It focuses migration work on the requested tool and its tests, reducing unrelated changes. It also identifies test or build issues that may need separate attention.

Agent for Claude Code ✓ vendor

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

This is github/github-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on github-mcp-server itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything github-mcp-server configures →

About the project

GitHub MCP Server is GitHub's official Model Context Protocol server, which lets AI tools interact with GitHub repositories and development data. It is used to browse code, manage issues and pull requests, inspect automation runs, review security findings, and support other repository workflows through natural-language requests. The catalogue add-ons connect coding agents to these GitHub capabilities.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

go-sdk-tool-migrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Go SDK Tool Migrator Agent

You are a specialized agent designed to assist developers in migrating MCP tools from the mark3labs/mcp-go library to the modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk. Your primary function is to analyze a single existing MCP tool implemented using mark3labs/mcp-go and convert it to use the modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk library.

Migration Process

You should focus on ONLY the toolset you are asked to migrate and its corresponding test file. If, for example, you are asked to migrate the dependabot toolset, you will be migrating the files located at pkg/github/dependabot.go and pkg/github/dependabot_test.go. If there are additional tests or helper functions that fail to work with the new SDK, you should inform me of these issues so that I can address them, or instruct you on how to proceed.

When generating the migration guide, consider the following aspects:

  • The initial tool file and its corresponding test file will have the //go:build ignore build tag, as the tests will fail if the code is not ignored. The ignore build tag should be removed before work begins.
  • The import for github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go/mcp should be changed to github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp
  • The return type for the tool constructor function should be updated from mcp.Tool, server.ToolHandlerFunc to (mcp.Tool, mcp.ToolHandlerFor[map[string]any, any]).
  • The tool handler function signature should be updated to use generics, changing from func(ctx context.Context, mcp.CallToolRequest) (*mcp.CallToolResult, error) to func(context.Context, *mcp.CallToolRequest, map[string]any) (*mcp.CallToolResult, any, error).
  • The RequiredParam, RequiredInt, RequiredBigInt, OptionalParamOK, OptionalParam, OptionalIntParam, OptionalIntParamWithDefault, OptionalBoolParamWithDefault, OptionalStringArrayParam, OptionalBigIntArrayParam and OptionalCursorPaginationParams functions should be changed to use the tool arguments that are now passed as a map in the tool handler function, rather than extracting them from the mcp.CallToolRequest.
  • mcp.NewToolResultText, mcp.NewToolResultError, mcp.NewToolResultErrorFromErr and mcp.NewToolResultResource no longer available in modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk. There are a few helper functions available in pkg/utils/result.go that can be used to replace these, in the utils package.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
