Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "SERVER_URL_HERE",
      "headers": {
        "X-GITHUB-TOKEN": "your_github_personal_access_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace SERVER_URL_HERE with the appropriate URL from the Server URLs section above.

Authentication

The server reads the GitHub token from the X-GITHUB-TOKEN header in HTTP requests. The token should be provided as the raw token value without any prefix.

Without a token, the server works with GitHub's public API with standard rate limits.

Deployment

This server is configured for deployment on Vercel. The vercel.json configuration file is included.
