This repository has been archived. Refer to the reference collection for latest samples and best practices.
[!WARNING]
This is not intended for production use. If you are to adopt any of the practices in this implementation, ensure that you are implementing proper caching and secure token/credential handling practices.
GitHub application registration
Prior to using this MCP server, make sure that you have a GitHub App you can use for testing. You can register one in your GitHub settings.
Once the app is registered, make sure to generate a new secret.
With the client ID and secret handy, create a new .env file in the root of this project, and add:
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET
Run server
npm install npm run build npm run start
Testing
You will need to use MCP Inspector or a tool that supports HTTP+SSE transport for MCP servers and authentication.
