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

Python 3.12+
Poetry (or uv)

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

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."
