Github Repo MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 32 installs a week from npm. Last commit 16 Sep 2026.
MCP server for GitHub repo health, commit summaries, issue triage, and RAG Q&A.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Github Repo MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
