GitHub MCP server

Omnigit GitHub & Local Git MCP Server

The Omnigit GitHub & Local Git MCP Server connects AI tools directly to GitHub's platform. This gives AI agents, assistants, and chatbots the ability to read repositories and code files, manage issues and PRs, analyze code, and automate workflows. All through natural language interactions.

Use Cases

• Repository Management: Browse and query code, search files, analyze commits, and understand project structure across any repository you have access to.
• Issue & PR Automation: Create, update, and manage issues and pull requests. Let AI help triage bugs, review code changes, and maintain project boards.
• CI/CD & Workflow Intelligence: Monitor GitHub Actions workflow runs, analyze build failures, manage releases, and get insights into your development pipeline.
• Code Analysis: Examine security findings, review Dependabot alerts, understand code patterns, and get comprehensive insights into your codebase.
• Team Collaboration: Access discussions, manage notifications, analyze team activity, and streamline processes for your team.

Built for developers who want to connect their AI tools to GitHub context and capabilities, from simple natural language queries to complex multi-step agent workflows.

Fork differences from upstream

This is a fork of github/github-mcp-server with the following additions and improvements.

For the maintained backport checklist, see Fork Differences From Upstream.

Improved review comment ID resolution

getreviewcomments now returns a CommentID field (which is the databaseId from GraphQL) alongside the GraphQL NodeID and DatabaseID for every comment node. This CommentID is the numeric ID that should be used when calling addreplytopullrequestcomment or pullrequestcommentwrite. Previously, only the opaque base64 GraphQL node ID was returned, forcing the model to decode it or scrape the numeric ID from comment URLs. The commentId / comment_id parameter descriptions in those tools now explicitly say to use the CommentID field.

Issue comment management (issuecommentwrite)

A new issuecommentwrite tool lets AI agents update or delete existing issue comments. Previously only addissuecomment (create) was available.

PR review comment management (pullrequestcomment_write)

A new pullrequestcomment_write tool lets AI agents update or delete existing pull request review comments.

Body filtering (filter_patterns)

Issue bodies, PR bodies, and local git commit messages are filtered before being sent to GitHub. By default, Co-Authored-By: trailers and generic AI-generated PR footers are stripped. The filter list is fully configurable via filter_patterns in omnigit-mcp-config.json. See i18n / Overriding Descriptions for details.

Local Git toolset (local_git)

A full set of git tools for operating on local repositories without going through the GitHub API: gitadd, gitapplypatchfile, gitapplypatchstring, gitcheckout, gitcommit, gitcreatebranch, gitdiff, gitdiffstaged, gitdiffunstaged, gitinit, gitlistrepositories, gitlog, gitpull, gitpush, gitreset, gitshow, and gitstatus.
