MCP server for GitHub

A GitHub MCP server gives a coding agent access to repositories, issues, and pull requests through tools. Select one by documented capability and the access it requires, preferring read-only operation for review tasks.

GitHub servers typically expose repository data, issue and PR operations, and search. Whether they can modify resources (open PRs, edit issues) depends on the implementation and its permissions.

A token with broad scope grants the agent wide reach. Prefer a token limited to the repositories and operations the task needs, and prefer read-only tokens where the task is review.
