github-mcp

A small MCP server, built with FastMCP, that exposes read-only GitHub data as tools your AI assistant (Claude, etc.) can call.

It talks to the public GitHub REST API, so no token is required to get started — though setting one raises your rate limit.

Tools

Tool

Description

get_github_user

Public profile for a user: name, bio, followers, public repo count.

get_github_repo

Info about a repo: description, stars, forks, language, open issues.

list_user_repos

A user's public repos (most recently updated first).

search_github_repos

Search public repos by keyword, sorted by stars.

Requirements

Installation

git clone https://github.com/anujsingla/github-mcp.git
cd github-mcp
poetry install

Configuration

No token is needed for basic use, but the public GitHub API allows only 60 requests/hour unauthenticated. Set a personal access token to raise the limit to 5,000/hour:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Running

poetry run python -m github_mcp.server

Using with Claude Code

Register the server so Claude can call its tools:

claude mcp add github -- poetry run python -m github_mcp.server

Then ask things like "Look up the GitHub user octocat" or "Search GitHub for popular rust web frameworks."

Project structure

src/github_mcp/server.py   # FastMCP server and tool definitions
tests/                     # Tests

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
