remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides access to GitHub Enterprise and GitHub.com repositories, enabling repository management, branch listing, file content retrieval, and issue/PR handling through the GitHub API.

  • Offers tools for listing, viewing, and triggering GitHub Actions workflows, with capabilities for managing workflow runs and filtering by branch or status.

GitHub Enterprise MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integration with GitHub Enterprise API. This server provides an MCP interface to easily access repository information, issues, PRs, and more from GitHub Enterprise in Cursor.

Compatibility

This project is primarily designed for GitHub Enterprise Server environments, but it also works with:

  • GitHub.com
  • GitHub Enterprise Cloud

Note: Some enterprise-specific features (like license information and enterprise statistics) will not work with GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Key Features

  • Retrieve repository list from GitHub Enterprise instances
  • Get detailed repository information
  • List repository branches
  • View file and directory contents
  • Manage issues and pull requests
  • Repository management (create, update, delete)
  • GitHub Actions workflows management
  • User management (list, create, update, delete, suspend/unsuspend users)
  • Access enterprise statistics
  • Enhanced error handling and user-friendly response formatting

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • Access to a GitHub Enterprise instance
  • Personal Access Token (PAT)

Docker Installation and Setup

Option 1: Running with Docker

  1. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t github-enterprise-mcp .
  1. Run the Docker container with environment variables:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \ -e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \ -e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \ -e DEBUG=true \ github-enterprise-mcp

Note: The Dockerfile is configured to run with --transport http by default. If you need to change this, you can override the command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 \ -e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \ -e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \ -e DEBUG=true \ github-enterprise-mcp node dist/index.js --transport http --debug

Option 2: Using Docker Compose

  1. Create a .env file in the project root with the required environment variables:
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=https://github.your-company.com/api/v3 GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token DEBUG=true
  1. Start the container with Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
  1. Check the logs:
docker-compose logs -f
  1. Stop the container:
docker-compose down

Installation and Setup

Local Development (Using Concurrent Mode)

This method is recommended for active development with automatic recompilation and server restarts:

  1. Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git cd github-enterprise-mcp npm install
  1. Run the development server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" npm run dev

This will:

  • Compile TypeScript code automatically when files change
  • Restart the server when compiled files are updated
  • Run the server in HTTP mode for URL-based connections
  1. Connect to Cursor using URL mode as described below

Installation and Setup for Production

This method is the most stable and recommended for local development or testing:

  1. Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git cd github-enterprise-mcp npm install
  1. Build the project:
npm run build chmod +x dist/index.js
  1. Run the server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" node dist/index.js --transport http --debug
  1. Connect to Cursor using URL mode:
    • Add the following to your Cursor's .cursor/mcp.json file:
    { "mcpServers": { "github-enterprise": { "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse" } } }

This method is useful for local development:

# After cloning the repository git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git cd github-enterprise-mcp # Install required packages npm install # Build npm run build chmod +x dist/index.js # Link globally npm link # Run as a global command export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" github-enterprise-mcp --transport=http --debug

Option 3: Using npx (When Package is Published)

If the package is published to the public npm registry:

npx @ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp --token=your_github_token --github-enterprise-url=https://github.your-company.com/api/v3

Integration with AI Tools

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "github-enterprise": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp", "--token=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN", "--github-enterprise-url=YOUR_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL"] } } }

Replace YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN and YOUR_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL with your actual values.

Cursor

For the most reliable operation in Cursor, using URL mode is recommended:

  1. Start the server in a separate terminal window:
    cd /path/to/github-enterprise-mcp GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" node dist/index.js --transport http
  2. Configure Cursor's MCP settings:
    • Open Cursor and go to Settings
    • Navigate to AI > MCP Servers
    • Edit your .cursor/mcp.json file:
    { "mcpServers": { "github-enterprise": { "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse" } } }
  3. Restart Cursor to apply the changes

Alternative: Command Mode

Alternatively, you can configure Cursor to use the command mode, although URL mode is more reliable:

  1. Open Cursor and go to Settings
  2. Navigate to AI > MCP Servers
  3. Click Add MCP Server
  4. Enter the following details:
    • Name: GitHub Enterprise
    • Command: npx
    • Arguments: @ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp
    • Environment Variables:
      • GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL: Your GitHub Enterprise API URL
      • GITHUB_TOKEN: Your GitHub personal access token

Alternatively, you can manually edit your .cursor/mcp.json file to include:

{ "mcpServers": { "github-enterprise": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp" ], "env": { "GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL": "https://github.your-company.com/api/v3", "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token" } } } }

Additional Options in HTTP Mode

  • --debug: Enable debug logging
  • --github-enterprise-url <URL>: Set GitHub Enterprise API URL
  • --token <TOKEN>: Set GitHub Personal Access Token
