What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the complex configuration of GitHub Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling AI agents to securely and efficiently interact with GitHub's API. It helps workflow authors configure AI agents to automate tasks on GitHub without deep API knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible Operation Modes: Configure the MCP server in local (Docker-based) or remote (hosted) modes.
  • Granular Toolset Control: Enable specific GitHub API toolsets (e.g., repos, issues, pull_requests) or use [default] for common operations.
  • Secure Authentication: Set up read-only mode and custom GitHub tokens for enhanced security.
  • Use Case: A workflow author needs to grant an AI agent access to create issues and manage pull requests. This skill guides them to configure the github tool with toolsets: [issues, pull_requests] in their workflow's frontmatter.

Quick Start

Consult the github-mcp-server skill to configure your AI agent to use the repos and issues toolsets for managing GitHub repositories and issues.
