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

Build the Docker image:
docker build -t github-enterprise-mcp .
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

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
Start the container with Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
Check the logs:
docker-compose logs -f
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:

Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git cd github-enterprise-mcp npm install
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
Connect to Cursor using URL mode as described below

Installation and Setup for Production

Option 1: Using URL Mode (Recommended for Local Development)

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

Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git cd github-enterprise-mcp npm install
Build the project:
npm run build chmod +x dist/index.js
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
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" } } }

Option 2: Install as a Global Command (npm link)

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

Recommended: URL Mode (Most Stable)

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

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
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" } } }
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:

Open Cursor and go to Settings
Navigate to AI > MCP Servers
Click Add MCP Server
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" } } } }

Language Configuration

This MCP server supports both English and Korean languages. You can configure the language using:

Environment Variables

# Set language to Korean export LANGUAGE=ko # Or in .env file LANGUAGE=ko

Command-line Arguments

# Set language to Korean node dist/index.js --language ko

The default language is English if not specified.

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
--language <LANG>: Set language (en or ko, default: en)
