GitHub's official MCP Server

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.
