mcp-github -fixed

The mcp-github-fixed server is a specialized implementation of the Model Context Protocol tailored for GitHub interactions, particularly enhancing pull request handling. Developers can leverage this server to streamline their workflows, improve integration with GitHub repositories, and manage pull requests more efficiently than with the standard implementation.

Once connected to the mcp-github-fixed server, you can interact with GitHub repositories using specific commands tailored for pull requests and other repository actions. Best practices involve using queries that target pull request creation, updates, and status checks to take full advantage of the server's enhanced capabilities. As there are currently no documented tools available, focus on crafting precise HTTP requests to the server to execute these commands effectively.

Prerequisites

Before installing mcp-github-fixed, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download it from the official Node.js website.

Option A: Quick Start with npx

For a quick start, you can use npx to run the server without a global installation. Use the following command:

npx -y ivarvd-hldng/mcp-github-server-fixed

Option B: Global Install Alternative

If you prefer a global installation, clone the repository and run the server locally:

git clone https://github.com/ivarvd-hldng/mcp-github-server-fixed.git
cd mcp-github-server-fixed
npm install
npm start

When configuring the mcp-github-fixed server, ensure you set necessary environment variables for GitHub authentication, such as GITHUB_TOKEN. This token is essential for making authorized API requests. A common gotcha is forgetting to update your token when it expires, which may lead to authentication errors during pull request operations.
