Created By

Control GitHub entirely through Claude — in plain English. 19 tools for repos, PRs, issues, branches, commits, releases, and GitHub Actions. 26x smaller responses than the official GitHub MCP. No Docker required.
Overview

Setup

git clone https://github.com/noushad999/github-mcp-server.git

cd github-mcp-server

npm install && npm run build

echo "GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token" > .env

19 Tools

Repositories: list_repos, get_repo Issues: list_issues, create_issue, assign_issue Pull Requests: list_prs, create_pr, get_pr_diff, merge_pr Branches: create_branch, delete_branch Commits & Files: list_commits, get_file, search_code Comments: add_comment Releases: get_release, create_release Actions: list_workflows, trigger_workflow

Why Lean?

  • ~320 avg tokens per response (vs 2000+ raw GitHub API)
  • Null stripping + compactification
  • 120s in-memory cache
  • Auto-detects default branch
  • 49/49 tests passing
