How to use
The Custom GitHub MCP Server enables developers to build and deploy applications that can seamlessly interact with GitHub repositories using the Model Context Protocol. This server allows you to manage repository data, automate tasks, and integrate GitHub functionalities into your applications, thus enhancing your development workflow and productivity.
Once you connect to the Custom GitHub MCP Server, you can interact with it by sending queries that retrieve repository information, manage issues, or automate pull requests. While specific tools are not documented, you can utilize standard HTTP requests or WebSocket connections to communicate with the server. It’s best to structure your commands around GitHub API endpoints to leverage the full capabilities of the MCP server.
