Share your feedback directly with the maintainers - every feedback helps make this server better for everyone.
Comprehensive GitHub API access for repositories, issues, pull requests, and code — all through typed MCP tools.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes GitHub's API for managing repositories, issues, pull requests, branches, releases, tags, branch protection, and repository rulesets.
Overview
The MewCP GitHub MCP Server provides:
Repository management — get, create, update, and fork repositories; create or update files and push multi-file commits
Search across GitHub — repositories, code, users, issues, and pull requests
Issue tracking — list, get, create, comment on, and update issues, including sub-issue relationships and Copilot assignment
Pull request workflows — read, list, create, update, merge PRs, manage branch updates, write reviews, reply to comments, and request Copilot review
Repository administration — branches, commits, file contents, tags, releases, labels, branch protection, PR review protection, and repository rulesets
Perfect for:
AI agents that need to read and act on GitHub repository state (issues, PRs, files, commits)
Automating routine GitHub workflows — issue triage, PR review requests, release lookups
Enforcing and auditing repository governance — branch protection, PR review requirements, rulesets
