Github
Let your coding agent open PRs, triage issues, and inspect Actions with compact JSON instead of noisy `gh` or REST dumps.
Overview
io.github.Dave-London/github is an MCP server for the Build phase that exposes GitHub PR, issue, and Actions operations as structured, token-efficient JSON for coding agents.
What is this MCP server?
- Structured MCP tools for GitHub PRs, issues, and Actions
- Token-efficient JSON responses tuned for agent context windows
- Stdio npm package `@paretools/github` (v0.7.1) from the Pare monorepo
- Pairs with other Dave-London/Pare MCP servers for a consistent diagnostics style
- npm package `@paretools/github` at version 0.7.1
- stdio MCP transport per server.schema.json
- Source repository: github.com/Dave-London/Pare
Community signal: 128 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Raw GitHub CLI and API output floods agent context and makes PR and issue triage slow and error-prone.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who want agent-assisted PR/issue/Actions workflows in Claude Code or Cursor with minimal token burn.
Skip if: Teams that need a full GitHub App, org-wide policy automation, or workflows that must not expose a PAT to a local MCP process.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server, agents can query and act on GitHub with compact typed results you can chain into reviews and ship checks.
- Registered stdio MCP server for GitHub operations
- Agent-callable tools returning structured PR, issue, and Actions data
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
GitHub is wired during active product build when repos, automation, and agent-driven dev workflows live in one place. Pull requests, issues, and Actions are integration surfaces between your codebase and GitHub’s platform APIs.
How it compares
MCP GitHub integration with structured tool output, not a standalone code-review skill or hosted CI dashboard.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.Dave-London/github for?
Indie developers and agent-first builders who already use GitHub and want MCP-native PR, issue, and Actions access from Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
When should I use io.github.Dave-London/github?
Use it while building and shipping through GitHub when you want the agent to list PRs, comment, check runs, or manage issues without dumping huge API responses.
How do I add io.github.Dave-London/github to my agent?
Install `@paretools/github` from npm, add an MCP server entry with stdio transport in your client config, and set a GitHub token in the environment your MCP host documents.
