About

GitHub via MCP: search, repos, issues, PRs, files, notifications. OAuth device flow or token.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.

Add to Cursor

If the button doesn't open Cursor, use the JSON below — Cursor accepts the same mcpServers config.

VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"github","command":"npx","args":["@abhishekmcp/github"],"env":{"GITHUB_TOKEN":"","GITHUB_CLIENT_ID":"","GITHUB_READONLY":""}}'

  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@abhishekmcp/github"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "",
        "GITHUB_CLIENT_ID": "",
        "GITHUB_READONLY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment variables are listed by name only — fill in your own values. Entries never carry secrets.
