Warning

This is not intended for production use. If you are to adopt any of the practices in this implementation, ensure that you are implementing proper caching and secure token/credential handling practices.

GitHub application registration

Prior to using this MCP server, make sure that you have a GitHub App you can use for testing. You can register one in your GitHub settings.

Once the app is registered, make sure to generate a new secret.

With the client ID and secret handy, create a new .env file in the root of this project, and add:

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET

Run server

npm install
npm run build
npm run start

Testing

You will need to use MCP Inspector or a tool that supports HTTP+SSE transport for MCP servers and authentication.
