github-mcp
A read-only MCP server that exposes GitHub user profiles, repository info, and search via tools for AI assistants like Claude.
README
github-mcp
A small MCP server, built with FastMCP, that exposes read-only GitHub data as tools your AI assistant (Claude, etc.) can call.
It talks to the public GitHub REST API, so no token is required to get started — though setting one raises your rate limit.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_github_user |
Public profile for a user: name, bio, followers, public repo count. |
get_github_repo |
Info about a repo: description, stars, forks, language, open issues. |
list_user_repos |
A user's public repos (most recently updated first). |
search_github_repos |
Search public repos by keyword, sorted by stars. |
Requirements
Installation
git clone https://github.com/anujsingla/github-mcp.git
cd github-mcp
poetry install
Configuration
No token is needed for basic use, but the public GitHub API allows only 60 requests/hour unauthenticated. Set a personal access token to raise the limit to 5,000/hour:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here
Running
poetry run python -m github_mcp.server
Using with Claude Code
Register the server so Claude can call its tools:
claude mcp add github -- poetry run python -m github_mcp.server
Then ask things like "Look up the GitHub user octocat" or "Search GitHub for popular rust web frameworks."
