github

github is an MCP server for Cursor from blockmatic/basilic. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local MCP server that lets an AI assistant use the GitHub API to search code, read and manage repositories, handle issues and pull requests, and view Actions logs. MCP is a standard way for tools to provide information to AI assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect code, create or update issues and pull requests, manage repositories, and check GitHub Actions results; it requires a GitHub access token.
Why use it?
It keeps common repository and collaboration tasks available to the assistant instead of requiring separate manual searches and API calls.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

github 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.

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.
