This is a GitHub integration service that provides a Model Control Protocol (MCP) interface for interacting with GitHub's API.
- Node.js installed on your system
- A GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)
The MCP server uses environment variables configured directly in your Cursor/Claude Desktop MCP settings. No separate .env file is needed.
Configure Cursor/Claude Desktop to use the MCP server by adding the following to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"GitHub MCP": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/your/github-mcp/src/index.js"],
"env": {
"GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here"
}
}
}
}Replace /path/to/your/github-mcp with the actual path to your GitHub MCP project directory.
The GitHub MCP provides the following capabilities:
- User information retrieval
- Repository management
- Repository name updates
- And more GitHub API integrations
