20 Best GitHub MCP Servers, Compared (October 2026)

Updated 20 of 1,731 GitHub servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

For most readers, the server to reach for is GitHub MCP Server (github/github-mcp-server). It is GitHub's official MCP Server, has 33,210 GitHub stars and 696 stars gained per 30 days, and its default branch had a commit 11 days ago with 184 commits in the last 12 weeks. It is designed to connect an AI assistant to GitHub in VS Code as a remote HTTP MCP server at api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ using OAuth or a PAT. If your task is retrieving specific code symbols from an indexed repository instead of general GitHub access, github-codemunch-mcp (jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp) is the better answer: it exposes 7 tools, its tool descriptions are graded A, and its default branch had a commit 0 days ago.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works (a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account), and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about GitHub (named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it), whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular: People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite: Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant: Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging: Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady: Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp ↗

    Best for: Retrieving specific code symbols from an indexed repository: it exposes seven tools for tree-sitter indexing, file outlines, symbol search, and exact source retrieval.

    github-codemunch-mcp indexes a GitHub repository's source code locally, parsing it with tree-sitter to store symbol signatures and summaries, and it exposes seven tools for listing indexed repos, viewing file trees and outlines, searching symbols, and fetching one or more symbol sources. Before choosing it, note that it requires an indexing step per repository (index_repo) and keeps that index in local storage, so it covers exploration and retrieval of already indexed code rather than editing repositories or querying them without an index.

    bgauryy/octocode ↗

    Best for: Researching code across GitHub repositories and local checkouts in one session: it pairs GitHub search, file, and pull request tools with local ripgrep, filesystem, and LSP tools.

    Octocode MCP exposes 13 tools split between GitHub API operations (code, repository, and pull request search, file reads, repo structure), local work over ripgrep, filesystem, and LSP, and npm/PyPI package lookup, and the README documents the same set running either as an MCP server or as a CLI. The LSP tools require a lineHint obtained from localSearchCode first, Node.js 20.12+ is a prerequisite, and GitHub authentication is optional but needed for private repositories and higher API rate limits.

    kunwarVivek/mcp-github-project-manager ↗

    Best for: Sprint and milestone tracking on GitHub Projects V2: it exposes 84 tools covering roadmaps, milestones, sprint metrics, draft issues, and pull request reviews.

    The server implements the Model Context Protocol over GitHub Projects V2, exposing 84 tools that create and update projects, roadmaps, milestones, sprints, issues, draft issues, and pull requests, plus progress metrics for milestones and sprints. Choosing it does assume a GitHub Projects V2 board to run against, since its README states that all state lives in GitHub issues, project fields, and comments, with no external database or other infrastructure required.

    idea-reality-mcp

    Community favouriteNo change
    mnemox-ai/idea-reality-mcp ↗

    Best for: Before building a product idea: it exposes idea_check to check whether that idea already exists.

    idea-reality-mcp exposes one MCP tool, idea_check, which checks a plain-English product idea against external sources and returns a reality signal with competitor evidence, trend direction, and pivot suggestions. It is scoped to that pre-build check, so it does not cover general GitHub repository, issue, or pull request operations.

    jscpd

    Community favouriteNo change
    kucherenko/jscpd ↗

    Best for: Preventing duplicate code before committing: it exposes check_duplication, get_file_clones, get_statistics, and check_current_directory against the scanned project.

    jscpd's built-in MCP server runs over stdio and exposes four tools: check_duplication for snippets, get_file_clones and get_statistics for the last scan, and check_current_directory to re-scan the paths it was started with. The scope is the scanned project: results come from the last scan or the paths the server was started with, so changing those paths requires starting jscpd --mcp with the new project.

    GitHub Stars MCP Server

    Steady▲ 1
    miantiao-me/github-stars ↗

    Best for: Finding a previously starred repository by description rather than keyword: it exposes a natural language search tool backed by Cloudflare AutoRAG over repository READMEs.

    GitHub Stars MCP Server fetches a GitHub account's starred repositories and their README files into Cloudflare R2, builds an AutoRAG index over that content, and serves it through a streamable HTTP endpoint with a search_github_stars tool that accepts a natural language query. Before choosing it, note that it is self-hosted rather than a hosted service: it requires a Cloudflare account with an R2 bucket and AutoRAG instance configured, a GitHub personal access token with repo scope, and an MCP_API_KEY, since requests are authenticated with a bearer token.

    GitMCP

    Abandoned but popular▼ 1
    idosal/git-mcp ↗

    Best for: AI assistants needing current documentation and code for a specific GitHub repository: it exposes remote MCP endpoints such as gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} and gitmcp.io/docs.

    GitMCP exposes 32 tools for Git operations, Gitea and GitHub repository management, authentication, configuration, releases, versioning, backups, and health checks, while its README documents remote MCP endpoints that turn GitHub repositories or GitHub Pages sites into documentation sources. Before choosing it, note that the documented hosted setup requires adding a GitMCP URL such as gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} or gitmcp.io/docs as an MCP server in an AI assistant or IDE.

    Best for: Incident response and dependency triage on a known CVE list: 41 tools pull NVD, EPSS, KEV and OSV data and rank vulnerabilities by exploitation risk.

    cve-mcp exposes 41 tools that query NVD, EPSS, CISA KEV, GitHub Advisory, OSV, Shodan, VulnCheck, Vulners, Nuclei, Metasploit, CIRCL and AttackerKB for CVE lookup, package and CPE matching, exploit and weaponization checks, and CVE prioritization, comparison and enrichment. Before choosing it, note that it is distributed as an npm package whose README badges Bun as the runtime, and that some of the aggregated sources accept optional API keys, with a source-status tool reporting which keys are configured.

    luckyPipewrench/pipelock ↗

    Best for: Securing an agent that calls MCP servers with secrets: it proxies MCP traffic and scans bidirectionally for credential leaks, prompt injection, and tool description poisoning.

    Pipelock is a security proxy that wraps any MCP server and inspects mediated HTTP, WebSocket, MCP, and A2A traffic, scanning bidirectionally for credential leaks, prompt injection, and tool description poisoning. Before choosing it, know that no npm package is published and no PyPI package is attributed, and CONNECT tunnel content scanning requires TLS interception, so setup is not a package-manager one-liner.

    asklokesh/loki-mode ↗

    Best for: Autonomous spec-driven builds inside a repository, where the MCP client needs project state, task-queue, memory, code-search, and verification tools over stdio.

    Loki Mode is an autonomous spec-to-product coding-agent CLI whose MCP server is described as exposing stdio tools for project state, task queues, memory, code search, quality and verification reports, repository hotspots and co-changes, and structured findings. The thing to know before choosing it is that the Claude Code plugin assumes the loki-mode CLI is already installed, because the plugin calls the CLI rather than bundling it.

    crypto-ninja/mcp-server-for-Github ↗

    Best for: Teams automating GitHub Actions, pull requests, code search, and repository management from an MCP client: it documents compact, JSON, and Markdown response formats.

    Its README documents GitHub workflow automation for Actions monitoring, pull request management, code search, file operations, and repository management, with compact, JSON, and Markdown response formats and a code-first mode enabled by default. Before choosing it, note that its tool list has not been inspected, so the advertised tool count cannot be confirmed; installation assumes Python 3.10+ and the PyPI package github-mcp-server, with no npm package published.

    MartinLoop — Stop Runaway Loops, Bad Code & Token Waste

    Community favouriteNo change
    Keesan12/martin-loop ↗

    Best for: Running authorized coding, bug-fixing, tests or refactors in Claude Code or Cursor while capping session spend: it enforces budgets, preflight validation and verifier safety gates.

    MartinLoop exposes 24 MCP tools for governed coding runs, including planning with martin_plan, preflight validation, execution via martin_run, budget and stop-pressure checks, run dossiers, verification results, and GitHub PR creation with martin_create_pr. Before choosing it, note that completion requires fresh verifier evidence bound to the active run and workspace, so a VERIFIED result does not claim the code is bug-free or automatically safe to merge.

    github-security-mcp

    Dormant▼ 4
    badchars/github-security-mcp ↗

    Best for: Auditing a GitHub org's security posture from an AI agent: 39 tools across org settings, repository config, workflows, secrets, supply chain and access control.

    The server exposes 39 tools that call GitHub APIs to inspect organization settings such as 2FA enforcement and SSO, repository configuration including branch protection, secret scanning, code scanning and Dependabot, Actions workflow risks such as script injection and unpinned actions, secret and supply chain coverage, and team, collaborator, GitHub App and PAT access, with aggregation and markdown report tools over the findings collected in a session. Before installing, note that it runs on Bun and expects a GITHUB_TOKEN carrying repo, admin:org, admin:org_hook and admin:repo_hook scopes, with Enterprise-only features handled by graceful degradation rather than full coverage through the public API.

    Node9-Proxy

    Community favourite▼ 1
    node9-ai/node9-proxy ↗

    Best for: Securing GitHub-connected agents that run with permissions skipped: it hooks every tool call, blocking credential-file reads and holding destructive git or shell actions for review.

    Node9-Proxy is a hook-based gate for MCP tool calls, with its README documenting a credential jail, approval holds for destructive git, SQL and shell actions, MCP tool pinning, a network egress allowlist, a loop breaker, and audit logging across agents. Choosing it requires Node.js 22+ and a node9 init run in each project to install the hooks; the README presents it as governing other agents and MCP servers rather than exposing its own GitHub tool set.

    DollhouseMCP

    SteadyNew
    DollhouseMCP/mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Managing AI personas and other reusable elements in a local portfolio: it exposes five tools spanning create, read, update, delete and execute.

    DollhouseMCP exposes five tools (create, read, update, delete, execute) that manage personas, skills, templates, agents, memories and ensembles held in a local portfolio folder, with community sharing and GitHub sync. Its README states that permission hook support is full only on Claude Code and that Claude Desktop has no native permission hook path in this release, so the confirmation and agentic loop features depend on which client it is installed into.

    GitHub Brain MCP Server

    DormantNo change
    wham/github-brain ↗

    Best for: Summarizing a GitHub organization's issues, discussions, and pull requests beyond the standard API item limit: it stores data locally and returns token-efficient Markdown.

    GitHub Brain MCP Server summarizes discussions, issues, and pull requests from a local database populated through its interactive TUI, and its README documents a stdio MCP server started with github-brain mcp for Claude and VS Code. Before adoption, note that the MCP server requires a GitHub organization via -o or ORGANIZATION, reads only from the local database after a Pull, and complements rather than replaces the official GitHub MCP server.

Questions people ask

What does GitHub MCP Server require before it will run?

GitHub MCP Server (github/github-mcp-server) installs as a remote HTTP MCP server at api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ using OAuth or a PAT. The evidence above lists no npm package published and no PyPI package attributed for it, so the setup described is the remote endpoint rather than a local package install. Its default branch had a commit 11 days ago and 184 commits in the last 12 weeks.

What should I be careful about when using github-security-mcp?

github-security-mcp (badchars/github-security-mcp) is labeled Dormant, and its default branch had a commit 197 days ago with 0 commits in the last 12 weeks. It exposes 39 tools across org settings, repository config, workflows, secrets, supply chain, and access control, and its tool descriptions are graded A. If you need active maintenance, check that record before pointing an agent at it for security audits.

Which server should I use for GitHub Projects V2 tracking?

Use mcp-github-project-manager (kunwarVivek/mcp-github-project-manager). It exposes 84 tools covering roadmaps, milestones, sprint metrics, draft issues, and pull request reviews, and its default branch had a commit 5 days ago with 81 commits in the last 12 weeks. Its tool descriptions are graded C, so expect weaker tool descriptions than servers graded A.

Can GitMCP still work for current repository documentation?

GitMCP (idosal/git-mcp) exposes remote MCP endpoints such as gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} and gitmcp.io/docs, and it has 8,417 GitHub stars. It is labeled Abandoned but popular, its default branch had a commit 142 days ago, and it has 0 commits in the last 12 weeks. It also exposes 32 tools with tool descriptions graded C.

How do I secure an agent that calls GitHub MCP servers with secrets?

Use pipelock (luckyPipewrench/pipelock), which proxies MCP traffic and scans bidirectionally for credential leaks, prompt injection, and tool description poisoning. It had a commit 0 days ago and 755 commits in the last 12 weeks. Node9-Proxy (node9-ai/node9-proxy) is another option: it hooks every tool call, blocking credential-file reads and holding destructive git or shell actions for review, and @node9/proxy had 1,180 npm downloads in a typical week.
