GitHub MCP Server
The GitHub MCP server lets any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Codex — call GitHub through AllMCP's single hosted endpoint. Connect once and your agent gets 102 GitHub tools across users, repositories, branches, commits, files, issues. There is nothing to install or keep running: AllMCP hosts the connector, you get one URL and one sign-in.

How to connect an AI agent to GitHub
- Add the AllMCP endpoint
https://go.allmcp.co/mcp/ to any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex). Sign in with Google or GitHub when the browser opens — no card, no passwords. - Ask your agent to connect GitHub. Paste your GitHub API key (or webhook URL) into the secure AllMCP connect page your agent links you to. Your key is encrypted at rest and the agent never sees it.
- Your agent can now call all 102 GitHub tools directly. The first 20,000 tool calls each month are free; system and discovery calls never count.

Frequently asked questions
Does GitHub have an MCP server?
Yes. AllMCP is a remote, hosted MCP server for GitHub — 102 GitHub tools are available today. Add one URL to your MCP client and your agent can call GitHub without you running any server yourself.
How do I connect Claude to GitHub?
Add the AllMCP endpoint https://go.allmcp.co/mcp/ in Claude (Desktop, Code, or web), sign in with Google or GitHub, then ask Claude to connect GitHub. That's it — the same steps work for ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex.
Is the GitHub MCP server free?
Yes, to start. AllMCP includes 20,000 tool calls a month on the free tier, with no card required. Only real provider tool calls count against the quota — listing tools and connecting accounts never do.
What can the GitHub MCP server do?
It exposes 102 tools across users, repositories, branches, commits, files, issues, pull requests, reviews, so an agent can read and act on your GitHub data in natural language.
How are my GitHub credentials stored?
Encrypted at rest and never written to logs. Disconnecting GitHub revokes them immediately, and deleting your AllMCP account erases them.
