A server that allows AI assistants to browse and read files from specified GitHub repositories, providing access to repository contents via the Model Context Protocol.
What you can do with MCP GitHub Repository Server
A small MCP server that lets an assistant browse and read the files of one configured GitHub repository through MCP resources.
- List files and directories of a repository

- Read-only: no issue, pull request or write operations are described
- Scoped to a single repository set by GITHUB_OWNER and GITHUB_REPO
- Large repositories may hit size limitations
- Resource URIs use api.github.com; GitHub Enterprise Server is not mentioned
