mcp-go-github CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a Go-based MCP server that connects Claude Desktop with GitHub through local Git operations, GitHub’s API, and administrative controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining the GitHub MCP server, especially its request handling, Git and GitHub operations, administration features, dashboard functions, and safety layer.
Why use it?
They give contributors a shared map of the server’s architecture, important files, safety checks, and its design for grouping related actions under fewer tools.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

mcp-go-github CLAUDE.md 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 yesterday.

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.

CLAUDE.md - MCP GitHub Server v4.0

Status: ✅ Production Ready | Tools: 26 (consolidated from 85) | Architecture: Hybrid (Local Git + GitHub API + Admin Controls)

Core Architecture

Go-based MCP server providing GitHub integration for Claude Desktop via JSON-RPC 2.0.

Key Files

  • cmd/github-mcp-server/main.go - Entry point with multi-profile support
  • internal/server/server.go - MCP handler with 26 consolidated tools
  • pkg/git/operations.go - Local Git operations (0 tokens)
  • pkg/github/client.go - GitHub API client wrapper with 11 methods
  • pkg/admin/admin.go - Administrative operations client
  • internal/hybrid/operations.go - Smart Git-first operations
  • pkg/dashboard/dashboard.go - GitHub dashboard operations
  • pkg/safety/ - Safety layer with risk classification and audit
  • internal/server/admin_tools.go - 4 consolidated admin tools (22 operations)
  • internal/server/admin_handlers.go - Admin operation handlers
  • internal/server/safety_middleware.go - Safety execution wrapper

Design: Consolidated Operation Pattern

Tools use an operation parameter to expose multiple operations under one tool name. This reduces the tool count from 85 to 26, preventing AI model confusion from tool reading limits.

Example: git_branch with operation: checkout|checkout_remote|list|merge|rebase|backup

Safety uses composite keys tool:operation (e.g., github_webhooks:delete) for risk classification.

Features

  • Multi-profile: Single executable, multiple GitHub accounts via --profile flag
  • Protocol auto-detection: Automatically detects and responds with client's MCP protocol version
  • Hybrid ops: Local Git first (0 tokens) → GitHub API fallback
  • 26 consolidated tools: All 85 operations accessible via operation parameter pattern
  • 4-tier safety system: Risk-based classification with confirmation tokens
  • Audit logging: JSON-based operation tracking with automatic rotation
  • Dry-run mode: Preview destructive operations before execution
  • Security: Path traversal prevention, command injection protection, SSRF prevention

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.
