Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

repo
get_repo_languages
Analyze the programming language composition of a GitHub repository. Returns percentage breakdown of languages used, dominant language, and file counts per language. Use for understanding project tech stack or evaluating language distribution.
get_repo_stats
Fetch comprehensive statistics for a specific GitHub repository. Returns total stars, forks, issues (open/closed), pull requests, watchers, last commit date, and contributor count. Returns metrics useful for assessing project popularity and maintenance status.
compare
compare_repos
Compare multiple GitHub repositories side-by-side with key metrics. Returns star counts, fork counts, issues, primary language, and comparative analysis for each repository. Use for choosing between similar projects or analyzing competitive landscape.
repos
search_repos
Search across GitHub for repositories matching keywords, sorted by relevance or metrics. Returns matching repositories with description, star count, language, and last update timestamp. Use for finding projects, libraries, or code samples related to specific topics.

Github MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Github MCP Server do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_repos, get_repo_languages, get_repo_stats, search_repos. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Github MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 51 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Github MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Github MCP Server need an API key?
No. Github MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Github MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 51 ms on average, which is faster than 97% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
