GitHub Extended MCP

An MCP server that extends Claude's GitHub capabilities beyond the standard Docker-based server. Covers gists, starring, profile management, notifications, and other API operations.

Why

The standard GitHub MCP server (ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server) exposes 26 tools focused on repos, PRs, issues, and code search. This server fills the gaps: gists, starring, profile updates, and notifications.

Use both together for complete GitHub coverage from Claude.
