Install GitHub in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @abhishekmcp/github on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the GitHub repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

🧰 mcp-suite

A collection of Model Context Protocol servers, built in TypeScript.

Each server lives in its own folder under servers/ and publishes to npm as an independent package, while sharing tooling through an npm workspace. Connect them to any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and more.

Servers

More on the way: a Spotify controller, and others.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/Abhishekkumar2021/mcp-suite.git
cd mcp-suite
npm install      # installs deps for every workspace
npm run build    # builds every server

Install

Every server ships through every common channel. For the Claude Code plugin, add the marketplace once — /plugin marketplace add Abhishekkumar2021/mcp-suite — then install per the table. See each server's README for full config.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
