io.github.davidweb3-ctrl/github is a MCP server that connects your agent to GitHub to list PRs and issues, read repo info, and search code.

About

This GitHub MCP server exposes hosted repository workflows—listing pull requests and issues, fetching repo information, and searching code—so your agent can reason about remote state instead of stale screenshots. developers shipping SaaS or OSS from a single GitHub org use it during Build when wiring automations and during Ship when checking open PRs before release. Registration is stdio through @davidweb3-ctrl/mcp-github-server with a GitHub Personal Access Token, which is the standard pattern for PAT-scoped MCP integrations. It complements local Git MCP servers: local Git answers what changed on disk; this server answers what the team (or future you) already opened on GitHub. Scope tokens minimally to repo and read scopes you actually need, especially if the agent runs on shared machines.

  • Lists pull requests and issues from GitHub via MCP tools
  • Repository information and code search for agent-driven navigation
  • stdio npm package @davidweb3-ctrl/mcp-github-server (v1.0.0)
  • Requires GITHUB_TOKEN personal access token for authenticated API calls

What it does

Pull GitHub pull requests, issues, repository metadata, and code search into agent workflows from one MCP server.

Who is it for?

Best when you live in GitHub for issues and PRs and want Cursor or Claude Code to summarize or search the repo without custom scripts.

Skip if: Pure local-only workflows with no GitHub remote, or teams needing enterprise audit features beyond a PAT-based MCP wrapper.

What you get

Once connected with a PAT, your agent can query live GitHub repository data so planning, review, and fix loops stay aligned with the remote source of truth.

  • Live PR and issue lists inside agent conversations
  • Repo metadata and code search results without leaving the IDE
  • Faster integration and release prep against GitHub truth

By the numbers

  • Server schema version 1.0.0
  • npm identifier @davidweb3-ctrl/mcp-github-server
  • Required env: GITHUB_TOKEN
