GitHub MCP server

By the Flori team · Published 2026-10-29 · Updated 2026-10-29

Short answer: Yes. GitHub has an official MCP server: io.github.github/github-mcp-server, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified github GitHub organisation and hosted at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/.

This page covers the official server for GitHub and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.

What can you do with the GitHub MCP server?

GitHub's official server lets an assistant work with repositories, issues, pull requests and Actions workflows. GitHub hosts it at api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ and also publishes it as a container you can run yourself.

• Summarize what changed in a pull request and draft review comments for you to check.
• Turn a bug report into an issue with steps, labels and an assignee.
• Find out why the last Actions run failed and propose a fix.

Is there an official GitHub MCP server?

Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under GitHub's own namespace: io.github.github/github-mcp-server. 8 community servers are listed too.

What should you check before connecting GitHub?

• Which repositories the token or sign-in can reach; prefer access limited to the repositories the task needs.
• Whether the assistant should be able to merge or only comment; start with read and comment rights.

How do I connect the GitHub MCP server to Claude?

The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.

In Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http github https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/

A local package is listed as ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server:2.0.3. Use the publisher's installation instructions for its complete command, arguments and authentication settings. A package name alone is not a complete Claude Desktop or Claude Code configuration.

Does the GitHub MCP server work with ChatGPT?

A hosted endpoint is available at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.

How do I add it to Cursor?

Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Keep what your assistant does in one place

Code work stays in GitHub; the client-facing milestones, decisions and approvals for the same project can live in Flori, with the pull request linked. Flori's MCP server gives every assistant one shared CRM and project record.
