Github Mcp Server
Comprehensive GitHub integration that exposes 112 tools covering the full API surface: workflows and Actions monitoring, PR management, issue tracking, Discussions via GraphQL, security scanning (Dependabot, code scanning, secret scanning), Gists, notifications, project boards, and file operations. The standout feature is aggressive token optimization through compact response formats that strip responses down 80-97% for discovery and status checks while preserving full JSON when you need complete data. Supports both personal access tokens and GitHub App authentication for 3x rate limits. Reach for this when you need an AI agent to orchestrate entire GitHub workflows, not just read repos.
