Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `github-mcp-server` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Python 3.10+** — Python 3.10 or newer
- **Deno runtime** — Deno is required for the code-execution sandbox (https://deno.land/)
- **Clone and install** — Clone the repo and install the Python package Run: `git clone https://github.com/crypto-ninja/mcp-server-for-Github && cd mcp-server-for-Github && pip install -e .` (https://github.com/crypto-ninja/mcp-server-for-Github)
- **GitHub authentication** — Create a PAT with `repo` and `workflow` scopes (required for release operations) (https://github.com/settings/tokens)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `python3`
- args: ["-m","github_mcp"]
- required environment variables:
  - `GITHUB_TOKEN`: GitHub personal access token with repo and workflow scopes (example: `<your-github-token>`)
- optional environment variables:
  - `GITHUB_APP_ID`: GitHub App ID (optional, enables 15k req/hr rate limit) (example: `<your-app-id>`)
  - `GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID`: GitHub App installation ID (example: `<your-installation-id>`)
  - `GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH`: Path to GitHub App private key file (example: `<your-private-key-path>`)
  - `MCP_WORKSPACE_ROOT`: Absolute path to local project root for workspace_* tools (example: `<your-project-path>`)

Note: Code-first single-tool architecture exposes `execute_code` which internally calls 112 GitHub tools. Requires Deno for the code execution sandbox.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
