About

The remote GitHub MCP server is built using this repository as a library, and binding it into GitHub server infrastructure with an internal repository. You can open issues and propose changes in this repository, and we regularly update the remote server to include the latest version of this code.

Remote MCP Toolsets

Below is a table of available toolsets for the remote GitHub MCP Server. Each toolset is provided as a distinct URL so you can mix and match to create the perfect combination of tools for your use-case. Add /readonly to the end of any URL to restrict the tools in the toolset to only those that enable read access. We also provide the option to use headers instead.
