🔌 github-mcp-connector
Talk to GitHub from an MCP-speaking agent.
A single static Go binary that speaks the Model Context Protocol and exposes 18 tools for working with GitHub: repositories, branches, commits, file contents, issues, pull requests, and search.
No Python, no uv, no runtime dependency to install — just a binary and an .mcp.json.
✨ Why this exists
An agent that can only talk about your GitHub repos isn't that useful.
This gives it hands: it can read and write files in a repo, open and
triage issues, push a branch and open a PR, and merge it — all against
the real GitHub API, with the same guardrails (size caps, friendly
errors, destructive-action annotations) as the sibling connectors.
🧰 Tools
Every tool accepts an optional response_format: markdown (default, pretty tables for a chat UI) or json (for programmatic use).
🚀 Quickstart
Fastest path: grab a prebuilt bundle from the latest release — download github-mcp-connector-plugin---.zip, unzip it, and point Cowork/Claude at the plugin/ folder inside (see step 4 of SETUP.md). No Go toolchain required.
From source:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
