# GitHub MCP server

Lets the agent read and change GitHub repositories, issues and pull requests.

Official server from the vendor. Sign-in and keys: A GitHub personal access token (the README command above runs the Docker image). GitHub also hosts it at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/, which answered with a sign-in challenge.
